Claim 0:
1. A stranding machine for producing a cord from a plurality of metallic wires, comprising:
a stranding device for stranding the metallic wires,
at least one rotatably supported deflecting roller for deflecting the cord, and
at least one guiding device for guiding the cord, wherein the at least one guiding device is arranged in such a way that the cord can be guided on a straight line from the at least one guiding device to the at least one deflecting roller, in such a way that the cord is selectively pressed against a first flank or against a second flank, wherein the second flank is different from the first flank, of the at least one deflecting roller, the at least one deflecting roller defines a running surface having a wedge-shaped recess defined by each of the first and second flanks being directed obliquely inward towards a central plane of the at least one deflecting roller, with a roller base formed in an area extending between inner edges of the first and second flanks, the roller base having a smallest radius of the running surface,
wherein the at least one guiding device is moveable relative to the at least one deflecting roller, with this movement of the at least one guiding device causing the selection of one of the first flank and the second flank of the at least one deflecting roller against which the cord is to be pressed, such that movement of the at least one guiding device switches the cord from pressing against the first flank to pressing against the second flank,
wherein the cord formed from the metallic wires is guided by running across the running surface of the at least one deflecting roller so that the cord moves from a point of entry to a point of exit, and wherein the cord moves from contact with the first or second flank at the point of entry to contact with the roller base at the point of exit.
