Abstract
A double-twist type compact conductor manufacturing apparatus is comprised of a supply device for supplying conductor strands, a conductor twist machine, a converging and compacting die for converging and compacting a plurality of the conductor strands, and a capstan having a groove shaped so as to maintain the form of the converged and compacted conductor, as well as to provide feeding of the same. The converging compacting die is disposed upstream of the capstan but downstream from the conductor supply device and the conductor twist machine is downstream of the converging compacting die. The conductor twist machine is a double twist machine for imparting a double twist to the conductor. This configuration of the apparatus serves to prevent not only deformation of the twisted wire but also the breakage thereof.
