Abstract: A cutting station for the automatic cutting to a specific length of cable elements and has a magazine which extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and has several holders for one cable element each. The cable elements are held next to each other in a horizontal magazine plane. A processing head extends in a longitudinal direction, which is movable in a transverse direction relative to the stationary magazine and is designed for gripping, pulling off and cutting to a specific length a respective currently selected cable element from the magazine. Each holder has two fixing elements spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction for holding the cable element. For machining by the processing head, a respective holder with a respective cable element is lifted in a preferred configuration from the magazine plane into the working plane.

Abstract: An assembly head is used for wrapping a wire harness in an automated manner by means of a winding module. The module has a winding head which rotates about an axis of rotation and, according to a first aspect, has a total of three pressing elements with spring-mounted rollers, which, during the taping process, press a tape against the wire harness and guide the tape in a centering manner. According to a second aspect, a belt drive having a toothed belt is provided for driving the winding head. The toothed belt engages on the circumferential side only in one portion extending over a small angular range.
