A cable processing machine system includes a cable processing machine for processing a cable, a cable tray for receiving cables processed by the cable processing machine, and a removal trough, the cable tray being pivotable to transfer cables from the cable tray into the removal trough when the cable tray pivots. The removal trough includes an exit conveyor belt for conveying the cables along a transport direction away from the cable processing machine to an end of the removal trough.

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.

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.

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.

A cable processing device includes at least one processing unit for assembling a cable and a sorting unit that can be actuated with a selection signal to output a cable received from the processing unit at least on a first side or on a second side according to the selection signal.

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.
