Abstract: A cable-processing machine includes a swiveling device with a swiveling arm and a gripper for moving cable-ends to and from processing stations. A belt-drive advances a cable supplied from a reel or drum to a cutting and stripping station where the leading and the trailing cable-ends are cut from the cable and stripped to form a cable-length. After the leading cable-end has been processed, the cable-length is laid on a continuously driven cable transportation belt and the trailing cable-end is processed. After processing, the cable-length is laid in a cable tray.

Abstract: Insulation removal equipment for exposing conductors of a flat cable, having a vacuum table, a table drive, a milling tool drive and an advancing drive which is arranged on a carriage and which moves the milling tool drive together with the milling tool on the carriage. The carriage is guided by guide rails arranged at a housing table. The housing table is carried by a housing, at which the table drive is also arranged. The advancing drive moves via a pinion along a rack arranged at the housing and executes the movement of the carriage. The height-adjustable vacuum table is controlled in dependence on the advancing drive and in dependence on the direction of a conductor to be exposed.

Abstract: A finishing installation for cables includes a cable unit, a cable feeder and finishing units. The leading cable end is seized by a loop-laying device and turned horizontally through 180°. At the same time, the cable is advanced by a cable-advancing device and straightened by the straightening path. An encoder measures the length of the advanced cable, while a cable loop is formed during the advancing of the cable. For the taking-over, feeding and delivery of cable ends, the cable feeder has a first transfer unit, which is displaceable along a transfer guide, with a first gripper unit and a second transfer unit, which is displaceable along the transfer guide, with a second gripper unit. Control equipment controls and monitors the finishing installation, wherein the movements of, in particular, the transfer equipment and the gripper units are freely programmable.

Abstract: A crimping apparatus including a crimping station having a crimping press and at least one set of crimping tools. Each crimping tool includes a wire ram, an insulation ram, an anvil unit and a separating unit. The wire ram and the insulation ram of each crimping tool are associated with a ram holder and each of the ram holders includes crimping height-adjustment means. Crimping pressure-measuring elements that are connected to a control unit are included between the crimping press and the ram holders. During a crimping process a crimping force as determined by the crimping pressure-measuring elements is compared with a preset nominal value range. When the determined crimping force is outside of the range, a corresponding correction signal is produced in the control unit, thereby effecting a corresponding correction of the crimping height-adjustment means.

Abstract: This cable conveying unit serves for the precise feeding of a given length of a cable into a cable processing station between at least two conveying rollers or bands driven in counterrotation and capable of being placed against the outside of such a cable.For this purpose the two conveying rollers or bands disposed on either side of the cable passing through and each associated with a drive unit are driven, mechanically separated from one another in terms of drive, by a respective speed-controlled electric motor.

Abstract: A cable depositing device for processing a plurality of cables includes at least one receiving transport band having a length and an entry end, a partition that extends above the upper driving strand of the receiving transport band along the length of the receiving transport band, and a swivel arm. The receiving transport band defines a cable entry region and includes an upper driving strand. The upper driving strand and the partition define two receiving and stretching regions on either side of the partition. The swivel arm is disposed in the cable entry region, defines a swivelling-out range and includes a cable gripper.

Abstract: The conductor end to be worked is clamped behind the conductor end section (5) to be stripped and is held in its axial position. Subsequently a scanning arrangement displaceable relative to the free end in longitudinal direction of the conductor end section (5) is used to determine the free end of this conductor end section (5), then the cutting knives (12, 13) are advanced into cutting contact with the conductor end section (5) by a distance (x) corresponding to the severing and/or insulation stripping length previously determined from the end position, and after cutting off the requested layer by means of cutting knives (12, 13) the latter are used to push the cut-off layer towards the end, and this cut-off and/or insulation stripping process can be repeated once or several times with graduated cutting depths, if need be.

Abstract: At least two transporting and take-off rollers (2, 2') interact for the gripping of a cable (1) to be transported. The axes of rotation (3, 3') of the transporting and take-off rollers are each rotatably arranged on a cantilever arm (7, 7') capable of swivelling together about a second turning axis (6) arranged on a turning platform (10) and running perpendicular to the former axis and parallel to a common straight line (5) connecting the said two rollers (2, 2'). At least one of the two transporting and take-off rollers (2, 2') is arranged laterally adjustable in relation to its distance (a) from the second transporting and take-off roller (7). Further, first drive devices (25) connected so that they can swivel together with the turning platform (10), are provided for driving the two transporting and take-off rollers (2, 2').

Abstract: The invention method and device for the automatic mounting of connector shells (5) and electric conductors (8) discloses that connector shells (5) are put on with the aid of an industrial robot (1) onto the contact parts (8.1, 8.2) of an electric conductor (8). A gripper tool (4) of the industrial robot (1) is capable to grip simultaneously several connector shells (5). Each contact part (8.1, 8.2) of the electric conductor (8) is maintained in rest position by two independently controllable gripper pairs (11.1, 11.2) of a double gripper (11) at the end of a cable-processing line (9), after a centering module (19) has set the desired position of the contact parts (8.1, 8.2). Depending on the intended device, the two contact parts (8.1, 8.
