Abstract: In a wire-processing device, the wire executes turns through being pulled out of a drum. The leading wire-end is held by a gripper of a loop-former. A wire that has been cut to length is held at its leading and trailing ends by an untwisting unit, the wire having before the untwisting operation a doubled-backed loop. A transfer unit takes the leading and trailing ends from the loop-former and passes the wire to the untwisting unit. After the untwisting operation, the transfer unit feeds the wire-ends to the processing units that process the wire-ends. A bundling unit takes the processed wires from the transfer unit, the bundling unit forming a wire bundle with the wires. With the untwisted wires, the wire bundle has neither doubled-back loops nor knots.

Abstract: In order to make possible simple operation of a cable storage device it is proposed that a multitude of cable storage elements be arranged on a rail and comprise an element with which they can be displaced by the cable gripper in a front delivery row until they are collected, preferably manually, for further treatment.

Abstract: In order to keep the load on the cables in a cable storage device as light as possible during the process of storing, and furthermore in order to keep the release of the cables as simple as possible, a cable storage device is provided in which at least on one side of the storage device a shoulder of a block is provided, which during storage is pushed down by the cable gripper, and as a result of this during storage the cable or cable end is practically not exposed to any transverse or longitudinal load. In this arrangement the block with the shoulder or shoulders is pushed upward by a spring and in this way ensures reliable clamping action in the storage device.
