A guide to better understand the double-twist bunching process

Martin Herzog describes clearly and profoundly the process of double-twist bunching in its book entitled “Process analysis of double-twist bunching. Production of flexible copper strands for cable manufacturing. Manual for machine operators and instructors.”

The author combines a profound engineer-training with more than 30 years of practical experience as a production manager in a wire and cable production company. In this book, the static and dynamic aspects of the double-twist bunching procedure are presented and explained. With this knowledge and with the specifics for this process, the qualities of the conductor material copper and the effects of the process parameters on the product qualities will become clear and comprehensible.

Thanks to the empirical tables and test results of the author, this work turns out to be a useful guide to promote the understanding of the process and to develop the procedure on the background of quality and efficiency. This manual is useful for newcomers to the industry to get a first in-depth view of the double-twist bunching process and is also a state of the art technology summary for the expert, which can provide useful stimuli to improve production processes.
