Versatile 1+5 Cradle Planetary Strander for Control & Power Cables
Application
This series of products is suitable for the cabling and armoring of multi-core power cables of various cross-sections,
cross-linked cables, and control systems. It can also be used for the production of charging pile cables.
Special launch
Large bearing support, a new type of high-speed silk machine, the main school flow is changed from traditional tugboat support to large bearing support, supplemented by other methods A series of improvements have been made to make it higher speed, lower noise, no maintenance, better performance, and more user-friendly operation.
Description: Streamline your production with our combined laying-up and taping solution. This cradle-type machine integrates non-metallic taping heads directly after the assembling die, allowing for simultaneous cabling and cushioning tape/lapping tape application—reducing handling and improving production efficiency.
Cradle type cabling machine is an important equipment for wire and cable cable forming. It is mainly used for cabling 3 to 6-core insulated wires, which can be used in round cables with back-twisting, and stranding fan-shaped cables without back-twisting. It is also can be used for cabling LV&MV power cables, control cables, mining cables, and other large-section cables. It is can be used for non-metal and metal tape wrapping, steel tape armoring and filling with this machine.
Our company has many years of experience in research and development of cradle type cabling machine, fully integrated the cable production process of China first-class cable manufacturers. We can provide 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000 and other models of cradle type cabling machine, and can achieve various cabling types such as 1 + 3, 1 + 1 + 3, 1 + 4, 2 + 3, etc.,which effectively broaden the production range of products. It is the best equipment for mass, continuous and large-section cables.

5. Why it beats the Drum Twister for your job
You asked about Drum Twisters previously. Here is why the Cradle is better for your specific 4+1 insulated core job:
Insulation Protection: The Drum Twister provides 0% back-twist. For large insulated cores, this can cause the insulation to "rope" or twist. The Cradle’s 100% back-twist keeps the cores flat and round.
Speed vs. Precision: Drum Twisters are faster but rougher. Cradle machines are slower but much gentler—ideal for pre-insulated wires where surface quality matters.
Cost: A Cradle Laying-Up Machine is significantly less expensive than a Drum Twister of equivalent capacity.
6. RFQ Clause for your Supplier
When asking for a quote, use this precise English description to ensure you get the right machine:
"We require a Cradle-Type Laying-Up Machine (1+4 configuration) with the following specifications:
Bobbin Size: PN800 or PN1000.
Application: Laying up 5 insulated cores (PVC/XLPE).
Max Core Diameter: 9.6 mm.
Back-Twist: 100% adjustable on all planetary positions.
Tension Control: Independent, closed-loop dancer tension per position (0–50N range). Must allow asymmetric settings (e.g., 30N for 7.4mm cores, 18N for 5.19mm ground wire).
Center Payoff: Stationary, with independent tension control."
