1. A method for twist linking tubular casings, comprising:
twisting a tubular casing such that the number of twists per group of portions is varied during the processing of a tubular casing,
wherein the number of twists per group of portions is varied in such a way that a first sequence of twist operations is performed with a first number of twists and a second sequence of twist operations is performed with a second number of twists,
wherein the first sequence runs immediately after the processing of a tubular casing begins and is followed by the second sequence,
wherein when the processing of a tubular casing ends, the first sequence runs again, and
wherein the first sequence has a higher number of twists than the second sequence.
