Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (100, 200, 300) for cutting, centering or holding a cable in a stripping head, comprising a first toothed belt wheel (1) and a second toothed belt wheel (2), which are rotatable coaxially and synchronously, but however in an angularly adjustable way with respect to one another, about a rotational axis (X), as well as a tool flange (21) coaxially connected to the first toothed belt wheel (1), in which a central opening (A) is disposed, through which the cable is able to be led or passed, the tool flange 21 comprising one or more movably attached tools (23), whereby the tools (23) are movable in relation to the rotational axis (X) by means of the positioning means (18) connected to the second toothed belt wheel (2), characterized in that the radial distance of the tools (23) to the rotational axis (X) is adjustable through an angular rotation between the first toothed belt wheel (1) and the second toothed belt wheel (2), which are driven by a common drive means (13)

Abstract: A crimping machine for crimping and pressing processes, in particular for semiautomatic or fully automatic mounting of a contact element to a cable end during cable assembly. It has a crimping station including a crimping tool, a tool holder, a drive unit, a contact feed and a contact store. The crimping tool and the contact store are an assembly which can be separated from the drive unit. The crimping tool is formed as two parts, and the tool holder has a clamping device for one part of the crimping tool and an adjusting head fixing unit for orienting and fixing another part of the crimping tool. The assembly is an integrated tool unit which includes at least the crimping tool, the contact strip un-winder preferably with a contact strip spool, the contact strip guide and a drivable paper strip winder. The crimping machine preferably includes an automatic tool identification system.
