Systems and methods for forming cable

Systems and methods are provided for forming a cable. In one embodiment, a system for forming a cable comprises a non-driven roll station having a plurality of rolls for forming a shape of one or morestrands associated with a first layer of the cable. Movement of the plurality of rolls of the non-driven roll station occurs passively during travel of the one or more strands associated with the first layer of the cable. The system further comprises a driven roll station having a plurality of rolls for forming a shape of one or more strands associated with a second layer of the cable. The plurality of rolls of the driven roll station are actively driven to effect movement and speed of the one or more strands associated with the second layer of the cable. 提供用于成型缆线的系统和方法。在一个实施例中，用于成型缆线的系统包括非驱动辊站，非驱动辊站具有多个辊，用于成型与缆线的第一层关联的一个或多个束的形状。在与缆线的第一层关联的一个或多个束的行进期间，被动发生非驱动辊站的多个辊的运动。系统还包括驱动辊站，驱动辊站具有多个辊，用于成型与缆线的第二层关联的一个或多个束的形状。驱动辊站的多个辊被主动驱动，以影响与缆线的第二层关联的一个或多个束的运动和速度。
