  • Patent number: 7607217
    Abstract: A wire processing unit has a crimp head moved in a ā€œzā€ direction by an eccentric drive and a crimping tool arranged on the crimp head moves with it. The crimp head also moves a pin connected to a lowering unit that has a C-shaped bracket on which the gripper unit is arranged. When a crimping punch moves, the gripper unit is moved with it, and the wire-end held by a gripper pair is inserted into an upwardly-open conductor crimp and an insulation crimp respectively. A cutting head of a cutting unit cuts off the leading wire-end, removes the insulation, and separates contacts with defective crimp fastening from the wire-end.

  • Patent number: 7202796
    Abstract: In order to provide a triggering signal for a cable stripping device that is also capable of dealing with very thin wires, it is suggested to use a piezoelectric sensor, the output signal from which is forwarded to an electronic evaluation unit. The electronic evaluation unit then outputs a digital signal that enables the stripping process to be started safely. Various mechanical mechanisms are suggested to ensure that the digital signal is not triggered when not being touched. This problem is proposed to be solved by a low pass filter discriminating between sensor inputs by touching and vibration shock events, etc.

    Abstract: In order to provide a triggering signal for an insulating device that is also capable of dealing with very thin wires, it is suggested to use a piezoelectric sensor (10), the output signal from which is forwarded to an electronic evaluation unit (20). The electronic evaluation unit (20) then outputs a digital signal that enables the insulation process to be started safely. Various mechanical means are suggested to ensure that the digital signal is not triggered when not being touched. This problem is proposed to be solved by a low pass filter discriminating between sensor inputs by touching and vibration shock events, etc.
