Abstract: A method and a device twist single cables about a twisting axis. The single cables each run along a cable axis and have wires, which are twisted in a strand twisting direction to form a strand, and also each have a first cable end and a second cable end. The first cable ends are held separately by a single rotating unit in each case. The second cable ends are held by a twisting unit. The second cable ends are rotated jointly about the twisting axis counter to the strand twisting direction to produce a twisted cable bundle. During the joint rotation, the first cable ends are rotated separately about a cable axis of the respective single cable, in the same rotation direction as the joint rotation. The single cables are each relieved of torsion thereby.

Abstract: A device and a method twist single cables about a twisting axis to form a cable bundle along an extension axis. The device includes mutually spaced single rotating units for separately holding cable ends at one end of the single cables; a twisting unit for holding and twisting cable ends at the other end of the single cables; and a guiding apparatus, to which is fastened a guiding mandrel for separating the single cables, at least in some regions, during a twisting process by the twisting unit, in a region in which there is a transition from an untwisted region to a twisted region. The guiding mandrel includes a thickened portion on a side opposite its fastening to the guiding apparatus, the thickened portion having larger dimensions in a direction transverse to the running direction of the guiding mandrel than in most of the guiding mandrel.
