Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for connecting an electrical conductor (12) to an electrical contact part (14), which has a base part (16) and deformable flanks (18) connected thereto, wherein the flanks (18) are deformed by means of a device, which has a bending punch (26) and a resting region (24) for at least one section of the base part (16) of the electrical contact part (14), by means of the bending punch (26) in such a way that said flanks (18) compress the electrical conductor (12) with the contact part (14) in a force-fitting manner, wherein, at least within a lower dead center time period of the bending punch (26), the contact part (14), which is arranged at least partially between the resting region (24) and the bending punch (26), is acted upon through the resting region (24) in such a way that at least one component (20) of the electrical conductor (12) is cohesively connected to the base part (16) and/or at least one flank (18).

Abstract: In a method for connecting an electrical conductor to an electrical contact part, wherein the contact part has deformable legs the legs are deformed by means of a bending die in such a way that the legs press the conductor with the contact part in a force-locked manner, wherein the contact part is acted upon in so that at least the legs are materially connected to each other. A device includes a bending die for connecting an electrical conductor to an electrical contact part, wherein the contact part has deformable legs and the bending die is designed to deform the legs in such a way that the legs press the conductor with the contact part in a force-locked manner, and wherein the device also includes a laser welding device designed to act on the contact part so that at least the legs are materially connected to each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stripping devices by way of which a cable sheath can be removed from a cable end and in this way the cable core can be exposed. Such a stripping device for stripping a cable sheath from a cable comprises a first cutter half and a second cutter half which are movable towards one another in a first direction. The mutually facing lateral surfaces of the first and second cutter halves are spaced apart from one another at a spacing in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and a voltage is applied to the first cutter half and the second cutter half. Furthermore, the stripping device has an evaluation unit connected to the first cutter half and the second cutter half, said evaluation unit being able to detect a current flow through the first cutter half and/or the second cutter half (10).
