  • Publication number: 20240113486
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for configuring a cable processing device for crimping a cable connection to a cable end of a cable comprising a tool mounting and a first cable stop, which carries out a method for positioning the tool mounting arranged to hold the cable connection and the first cable stop arranged to support the cable during assembling of the cable connection to the cable. The tool mounting and the first cable stop are independently positioned vertically, and the positioning takes place as a function of a cable conveying direction of a cable conveying means. Further described are a computer program product, as well as a computer readable storage medium.

  • Patent number: 11780702
    Abstract: A device (100) for braking a conductor. The device (100) comprises a braking element (10), which is able to be put into an operative connection with a conductor guided in a conveying direction of the device (100), and a contact pressure element (20) which is able to put into an operative connection with the conductor guided in the device (100). The contact pressure element (20) is arranged opposite the braking element (10) and the elements are movable relative to one another. The contact pressure element (20) is arranged on a brake lever (30) mounted in a pivotable manner on a pivot pin (31). Furthermore, a method for braking the conductor and to a cable processing machine having the device (100) are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220234093
    Abstract: A straightening device (15) for aligning a line (11) along a delivery route. The device including a straightening stand (20) having a first row of rollers (21) and a second row of rollers (31) which rows can be moved relative to one another and between which the delivery route of the line runs. At least one of the two rows of rollers (21, 31) has a plurality of rotatable rollers (25, 35). A braking device (40) is provided for braking at least one of the rotatable rollers (25, 35) of at least one of the two rows of rollers (21, 31) in the straightening stand. A method for braking at least one rotatable roller (25, 35) of at least one of the two rows of rollers (21, 31) in a straightening device, a cable processing machine with a straightening device, and an upgrade kit for a cable processing machine.
