Abstract

See full text

A wire twisting device may include a driven rotating mechanism having a groove configured to receive two wires, an electric motor associated with an encoder, wherein the encoder is configured to generate an electrical signal corresponding to changes in rotation of the electric motor, a drive gear mechanically coupled with the electric motor for rotating the driven rotating mechanism, a current sensor on a printed circuit board configured to detect an electrical current to the electric motor and generate a voltage that corresponds to the amount of electrical current, and a control unit configured to perform steps comprising: receiving the electrical signal generated by the encoder, receiving the voltage generated by the current sensor, determining an amount of torque applied to the two wires; and when the amount of torque exceeds a predetermined limit, communicating a control signal to reduce the electrical current provided to the electric motor.
