  • Publication number: 20240079863
    Abstract: A drain wire correcting device 10 includes: a retention device 20 configured to retain a sheathed portion 1a of a multi-core cable 1; gripping members 41, 42 configured to grip a drain wire 2 on an axis Ax; a moving device 60 configured to move at least one of the multi-core cable 1 and the gripping members 41, 42 along the axis Ax; and a rotating device 70 configured to rotate at least one of the multi-core cable 1 and the gripping members 41, 42 around the axis Ax. The drain wire correcting device 10 executes a squeeze control of moving the gripping members 41, 42 along the axis Ax while the gripping members 41, 42 are in contact with the drain wire 2, thereby squeezing the drain wire 2 toward a distal end side, and executes, after the squeeze control, a rotation control causing the gripping members 41, 42 to grip the drain wire 2 with a gripping force increased from that in the squeeze control and rotating the gripping members 41, 42 around the axis Ax.
