Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / staalkabels

Dutch term or phrase: slaan (van kabels)

Over staalkabels:

Iedere dunne draad wordt getest. Vervolgens worden de dunne draden op spoelen gezet. En begint het zogeheten >>‘slaan’<< van kabels: het ineenrijgen van dunne draden in een hele lange machine...

(Bedoelen ze met "ineenrijgen" trouwens niet gewoon "aaneenrijgen"?)

Weet iemand hoe dit in het Engels genoemd wordt? Bedankt.

Weaving/Braiding/Twisting

Explanation:
wires are twisted together in the machine shown at http://www.gbgindustries.com/StrandedCable.htm to form a steel rope, then these are twisted together in a similar, but larger machine to form a cable. ..

..so any of the above terms would work in your context
