    摘要: A cable feed device for feeding a cable to a cable processing machine includes a first rotatable roller and a second rotatable roller for guiding the cable such that the cable can be arranged in a loop around the first roller and the second roller, and a cable drive for transporting the cable. The first roller is arranged stationary, wherein the second roller can be pushed or pulled away from the first roller with a force, wherein the second roller has a first state and a second state, wherein the second roller is locked in a first position in the first state and is moved in the second state by the force such that the distance between the first roller and the second roller changes depending on the length of the cable between the two rollers.

    摘要: A method aligns a crimping cassette crimping tool in a cable processing apparatus having a tensioning device for applying tension to a mounting part relative to a crimping device attachment surface. The crimping cassette includes the crimping tool having cooperating stationary and movable tool parts for crimping and a holding device that attaches to the mounting part fixed to the stationary tool part and has a position allowing a spatially-limited adjustment movement of the stationary tool part. The method includes releasing the tensioning device; inserting the stationary tool part into a tensioning device area; moving the moveable tool part towards the stationary tool part slightly before it touches the stationary tool part; moving the moveable tool part towards the stationary tool part until a pressing force between the tool parts is reached or exceeded and an alignment occurs between the tool parts; and applying tension with the tensioning device.

    摘要: A grommet station includes a grommet assembly module that provides a cable end with a grommet. The assembly module has an assembly unit with an expansion sleeve for holding the grommet in an expanded state and placing the grommet on the cable end, a transfer unit with a mandrel, and a grommet-receiving device for receiving and holding the grommet during the assembly operation. In an acquisition position of the transfer unit, a grommet can be pushed onto the mandrel and, in a delivery position, the mandrel is in an operative connection with the assembly unit such that the grommet can be transferred from the mandrel to the assembly unit with the expansion sleeve temporarily encompassing the mandrel in the delivery position. The mandrel and the expansion sleeve are oriented in the same direction, and the assembly unit is a modular unit with a grommet-receiving device and a downstream expansion sleeve.

    摘要: A crimping cassette for a crimping device of a cable processing apparatus includes a crimping tool having stationary and movable tool parts configured to act together in a crimping operation of the crimping device. The crimping cassette further includes a holding device having at least two claws for attaching to a mounting part in a mounting area of the claws, the mounting part being directly or indirectly fixed to the stationary tool part. The holding device has a locked closed position in which the claws are firmly clamped to the mounting part; an unlocked closed position in which the claws loosely grip the mounting part for allowing an adjustment movement of the stationary tool part within a spatially limited adjustment range; and an open position in which the claws release the mounting part such that the stationary tool part is separable from the holding device.

    摘要: A method for aligning a crimper of a first tool of a crimping press relative to an anvil of a second tool of the crimping press, wherein the crimper and the anvil make a crimp connection jointly by moving the crimper relative to the anvil in a first direction, includes: determining a lateral offset of a center line of the crimper to a center line of the anvil in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the center line of the crimper runs through a center of the crimper and in the first direction and wherein the center line of the anvil runs through a center of the anvil and in the first direction; and moving the crimper relative to the anvil in the second direction for lowering the lateral offset.

    摘要: A method for aligning a crimper of a first tool relative to an anvil of a second tool in a crimping press, wherein a crimp connection is made by jointly by moving the crimper relative to the anvil in a first direction, includes: moving the crimper relative to the anvil in the first direction until the anvil is partially inside a cavity of the crimper; moving the anvil relative to the crimper in a second direction transverse to the first direction until detecting contact between the anvil and the crimper; moving the anvil relative to the crimper opposite to the second direction until detecting contact between the anvil and the crimper for determining a gap width between the anvil and the crimper; and moving the anvil relative to the crimper in the second direction by a distance which is equal to half of the determined gap width.
