Publication number: 20240388050Abstract: A transport unit conveys a belt strip with wire ferrules into a crimping machine. The transport unit has a base body with a ferrule channel through which the belt strip can be moved incrementally by a transport nose. The transport nose is formed on a transport pawl. The transport slider is guided parallel to the ferrule channel and can be driven in an oscillating manner. The transport nose is forced between two respective wire ferrules by a force transverse to the advancing direction and to the ferrule channel. The belt strip can be supported by means of two holding noses in a retracting direction. The two holding noses are formed on holding pawls, the respective pivot bearings of which are fixed to the base body. The two holding noses are forced between two respective wire ferrules by a respective force transverse to the advancing direction and to the ferrule channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: November 21, 2024Applicant: ZOLLER & FRÖHLICH GMBHInventors: Christoph Fröhlich, Steffen HARTINGER, Armin FISCHER, Bernhard GRAF
