Abstract: A cable-processing system comprising a cable-processing machine for processing ends of cables. The cable-processing machine has: an input side for receiving the cables; a plurality of cable-processing stations; a cable transport device for transporting at least one cable with a movable gripper; and an output side for discharging a processed cable. The cable transport device has a cable conveying device designed as a multiple-store device having a plurality of cable holders. The multiple-store device is designed as an autonomous or guided transporter. At least one of the grippers is designed as a transfer gripper to remove the cables from the cable holder and to feed them to at least one of the cable-processing stations and/or to at least one further gripper acting as a transfer gripper which can be moved using a frame-supported transfer mechanism to transfer the cable to one of the cable-processing stations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cable-processing system comprising: a cable-processing machine (90), especially for automatically processing cable ends of long and/or heavy, relatively flexurally rigid pre-cut cables (80) in at least one cable-processing station (70a, 70b) of the cable-processing machine (90); and a cable transport device (10). The cable transport device (10) is designed with: a cable conveying device (320a, 320b) for transporting at least one of the cable ends (81) of the cable (80) into the at least one cable-processing station (70a, 70b); and a suspension transport device (50) which is designed to transport a cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2) of the cable (80). This cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2) is transported in a suspended manner, for example as a suspended cable wrap (80c). According to the invention, the suspension transport device (50) has at least one guide (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) and a plurality of suspension transport units (53). These suspension transport units (53) can be displaced in the guide (51a, 51b, 51c, 51d) and are designed as suspensions for the cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2). The suspension transport units (53) are designed in such a way that a cable offcut (80c, 80c1, 80c2) suspended therefrom can be rotated about a vertical axis with or on the suspension transport unit (53).
