    摘要: A gripper jaw (G) for a conductor gripper (GA) for a pair of electrical or optical conductors (L1, L2), such as wires, cables, cable bundles or optical fibers. The conductor gripper (GA) has at least one gripper jaw (G) which is movable, by a drive assembly, relative to a second, oppositely positioned gripper jaw. The gripper jaw comprises at least one plate (1) having a gripper surface (2). The at least one plate (1) having a gripper surface (2) is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to a section that is secured against rotation (3) about an axis that is orientated perpendicularly to the gripper surface (2) and extends substantially through a middle of the gripper surface (2). The fixed section (3) is connected to the drive assembly or constructed therewith.

    摘要: A method of twisting electrical conductors includes cutting the conductors to size and transferring them to an actively displaceable twisting head and an oppositely positioned displaceable clamping device; clamping and tensioning the conductors between the twisting head and the clamping device by moving at least the twisting head away from the clamping device; activating the twisting head so that it rotates about an axis of rotation parallel to the clamped conductors while at the same time moving the twisting head towards the clamping device according to prescribed travel profile; applying a force, if need be of different magnitude, directed away from the twisting head to at least the clamping device, at least during the twisting process; and determining and evaluating a travel and/or force profile for the movable clamping device.

    摘要: A twist application device, including a feeder (1) for feeding conductor ends (2a . . . 2c) of at least two conductors (3a . . . 3c), and a rotatably mounted twist application head (4) for twisting the conductors (3a . . . 3c). The twist application device also includes a controller (7), connected with a drive (8) for first clamping jaws (5a . . . 5f) of the feeder (1), and is equipped for control of the latter. The distance (a) between clamped conductor ends (2a . . . 2c) is set at an adjustable value before the transfer of the conductor ends (2a . . . 2c) from the feed device (1) into the twist application head (4). A method of twisting at least two conductors (3a . . . 3c), in which the referred-to distance (a) is set at an adjustable value before clamping of the conductor ends (2a . . . 2c) in the second jaws (6a, 6b) of the twist application head (4).

    摘要: Twisting device for electrical conductors has at least one twisting head that rotates about an axis of rotation and a clamping device. The twisting head is movable in the direction of its axis of rotation toward the clamping device and is mounted on a first, motorised length compensation carriage, while the clamping device is mounted on a travel compensation carriage that is movable towards the length compensation carriage parallel to the axis of rotation of the twisting head. After the conductors have been cut to size and transferred to the twisting head and the clamping device, they are placed under tension. Then, the twisting head is activated to rotate about an axis of rotation parallel to the conductors while simultaneously moving towards the clamping device. Simultaneously, the clamping device is subjected to a force directed away from the twisting head and the travel/force profile for the clamping device is evaluated.
