Abstract:
An automatic-robotic-system-for-cable assembly system and method is provided. The method and system are configured to use a cartridge which holds one or both ends of the cable. The cartridge moves along an automatic cable assembly line, with the line segmented into different stages, at which a process is performed by a specific machine. Different machines, such as actuators or modular machines, perform operations on the cartridge at the different stages. In preparation for or as part of the operations, the actuators or modular machines may directly physically apply one or more forces to a cable held by the cartridge, causing the cable to spool toward or away from the modular machines.
Abstract:
An automatic-robotic-system-for-cable assembly is provided. The system is configured to detect the inner-wire placement. The detected inter-wire is conveyed toward a connector's relevant pad. In addition the robotic system is configured to associate the inner wire to the connector's relevant pad.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for automating one or more steps of a crimping process for crimping a crimp contact to a wire of a multi-wire cable is disclosed. Crimping wires is typically a labor-intensive process. As such, some or all of the manual steps may be automated, such as by manipulating one or more of the wires in preparation for inserting the wires into the crimping machine. In this way, the previously manually-operated machine may be less reliant or entirely non-reliant on manual labor.

Abstract:
A system for removing metal foil shield from electrical wires and/or cables, using ablation process, shear stress generation and video camera feedback.

The cartridge moves along an automatic cable assembly line, with the line segmented into different stages, at which a process is performed by a specific machine. Different machines, such as actuators or modular machines, perform operations on the cartridge at the different stages. In preparation for or as part of the operations, the actuators or modular machines may apply one or more forces to the cartridge, causing one or more of the following to occur: moving an end of the cartridge to a modular machine, rotating an end of the cable, tipping the ends of the cable, etc. In this way, use of the cartridge enables the automatic assembly of the cables held in the cartridge.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for automated removal of a segment of a braided metal shield from an electric cable. A segment of a braided metal shield protruding from a holder is pulled back over a heat absorbing ring. The ring is inserted over the braided metal shield. Laser radiation of sufficient power is applied to the segment of the braided metal shield located over the ring to cut the braided metal shield located over the ring.
