Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a strand (11) of several wires (12), consisting of an electrically conductive material, which are hard drawn to a final diameter in at least a single or multiblock wire-drawing machine (19, 28) or drawing apparatus in a last drawing step before the stranding, so that in each case the wire or wires (12) have a tensile strength of at least 300N/mm2, and that subsequently the hard drawn wires (12) or a mixture of hard drawn wires (12) and soft-annealed wires are stranded into a strand (11) in a stranding machine (21), without a subsequent annealing process, as well as a strand which is produced according to the present method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a double-twist bunching machine for producing bunched strand material (14), in particular wires, with an inlet (17) for individual strands (12) which can be supplied to a first deflection point (18) which has a first deflection roller (19), wherein the first deflection roller (19) is arranged in a manner such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation (21) in order to form a first twist, with a hoop (24) which rotates about the axis of rotation (21) and connects the first deflection point (18) to a second deflection point (26), wherein the second deflection point (26) has at least one second deflection roller (32) which is rotatable about the axis of rotation (21) in order to form a second twist.
