Preshapes Strands Before The Rope Is Closed.
Preforming helically shapes the wires and
strands into the shape they will assume in the finished
rope. It improves handling and resistance to kinking by
conforming the strands to the position they take in the
rope.
The superior qualities of preformed ropes
result from wires and strands being "at rest" in the rope,
which minimizes internal stresses within the rope. Today,
preforming is virtually standard in rope manufacture,
and non-preformed rope is made only on special order.
