Abstract
An apparatus and method for winding thermoplastic coated strands into a composite cable wherein the strands are first twisted around one another into a cable and then heat is applied to melt the thermoplastic coating. A plurality of rotatably mounted spools of thermoplastic coated strands are rotated about a common axis while the strands are pulled from the spools. The strands are drawn together by a collimating means and then passed through a heating means before being wound onto a take-up spool.
