Abstract: A device for flaring an end section of a braided tubular structure of an electrical conductor defines a reception volume having a peripheral boundary for receiving the end section of the braided tubular structure. The device further includes one or more rotatable rollers of which each has at least one peripheral roller surface facing the peripheral boundary of the reception volume. The one or more rollers are adapted to move relative to the reception volume in a peripheral direction about the reception volume for flaring the end section.

Abstract: A connector visual inspection apparatus comprises a rotatable clamp for clamping a connector to be inspected. A first camera of the apparatus is arranged on one side of the clamp for capturing an end face image of the clamped connector along an axial direction of the connector. A computing device calculates an angular difference between an initial loading orientation and a predetermined orientation of the clamped connector according to the captured end face image. A drive device rotates the clamp around an axis that coincides with a central axis of the clamped connector by the calculated angular difference and into the predetermined orientation.
