  • Patent number: 10381809
    Abstract: A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a preferably multicore cable (K), preferably comprises at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and a blade arrangement (1), which can preferably be rotated about the longitudinal cable axis, for the sheath. A pull-off device (A) for the at least partially cut sheath is integrated into the device. This pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off mechanism (5), which is designed for connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis. The invention further relates to a method of removing an inner sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K).

  • Publication number: 20180138673
    Abstract: A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a preferably multicore cable (K), preferably comprises at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and a measuring arrangement (1), which can preferably be rotated about the longitudinal cable axis, for the sheath. A pull-off device (A) for the at least partially cut sheath is integrated into the device. This pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off mechanism (5), which is designed for non-positive connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis. The invention further relates to a method of removing an inner sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K).

  • Patent number: 9954346
    Abstract: A facility (1) processes multi-core cable (2) having a screening braid and/or foil sheathing, inner conductors (2a), and/or internal filler. The facility (1) includes stations (3, 5-10, 12) each for at least one respective processing step of cable stripping; the opening up, trimming, and folding back of any screening braid present; the removal of any foil present; and the removal of any internal filler present. A transport device transports cut-to-length cables to and from these stations (3, 5-10, 12). The transport system (13) connects stations (3, 5-10, 12). At least one control unit (17) may be provided, whereby all stations (3, 5-10, 12) may be automatically operated.

  • Patent number: 9744632
    Abstract: Aligning machines for individual line ends (2) of cable (3) provide enhanced stress-free and precise alignment of line ends (2) of the cable (3) prior to the further processing thereof. Cable (3) is fixed in a clamp (5) opposite a rotor (4) provided with recesses (6, 7) for the exposed line ends (2). This rotor (4) is provided with a corresponding number of preferably parallel elongate blind holes (7) that connect to funnel-shaped guides (6) for the line ends (2). The rotor (4) and the clamp (5) for the cable (3) are movably mounted relative to one another.
