Technical diagnostics of industrial double twist twinner machine for data cables

The presented article focuses on the diagnostic measurement and evaluation of vibrations of equipment used for data-cable twisted pairing manufacture. A short description of the process of the data cables manufacturing process to which the diagnosed device belongs is provided and the qualitative parameters of the data cables are mentioned. The experimental part is devoted to the experimental diagnostics of the given system in order to locate and identify the possible reason for the occurrence of the parameter´s critical value of the loss of the data cable. When deterioration of electric properties was detected, monitoring the basic oscillation characteristics has been deployed as the key tool to detecting damaged machine parts, and avoiding quality deterioration of the products in the manufacturing process. Finally, the quality of the paired cables after the repair has been confirmed by measurements verifying the efficiency of the measures performed.
