What is direct cabling?

Direct cabling is a single-stage process in which two yarns are wrapped around each other without imparting turns of twist to the single yarns. Direct cabling is a mechanical finishing process applied in tire cord production. Cabled yarns support the perfect quality and safety in tire cord production.

The Direct Cabling Principle

  • One of the two untwisted yarn packages is located in the overhead creel, which is an integral part of the direct cabling machine
  • The second yarn package is located on the rotating spindle in the spindle pot.
  • Both yarns are controlled by tension devices. This ensures that both yarns are cabled with uniform tension.
  • During the direct cabling process the single ends do not receive any twist
