A method and a device twist single cables about a twisting axis. The single cables each run along a cable axis and have wires, which are twisted in a strand twisting direction to form a strand, and also each have a first cable end and a second cable end. The first cable ends are held separately by a single rotating unit in each case. The second cable ends are held by a twisting unit. The second cable ends are rotated jointly about the twisting axis counter to the strand twisting direction to produce a twisted cable bundle. During the joint rotation, the first cable ends are rotated separately about a cable axis of the respective single cable, in the same rotation direction as the joint rotation. The single cables are each relieved of torsion thereby.

Method and device for twisting single cables

An apparatus to process a plurality of electrical wires as well as a method that uses the apparatus are indicated. The apparatus includes a feed device, a stationary holding device, a holding device that is non-stationary along a linear guiding direction, a non-stationary bundling device that is separate from the non-stationary holding device and a controller connected to a drive of the non-stationary bundling device. The stationary holding device and/or the non-stationary holding device are configured to twist the respectively held end of the wires; The controller controls the drive in such a way that a distance between a bundling segment of the non-stationary bundling device and the non-stationary holding device assumes a specified or a specifiable distance.

A cable processing machine includes a cable feeding device for moving a cable in a feed direction. The cable feeding device has a first guide element and a second guide element, between which elements the cable is guided at least in an operating mode of the cable processing machine. The spacing between the two guide elements is selectively variable. A method for laying a cable in the cable processing machine includes moving one or both of the guide elements relative to one another when the cable processing machine is shifted between the operating mode and a cable laying mode.

A cable processing device has at least one workstation designed as a changing station for processing cable ends of cables. This changing station includes two processing modules for optionally processing the cable end of the cable in one of the processing modules. The processing modules allocated to the changing station can be adjusted between a working position and a waiting position by an adjustment mechanism. The processing modules of the changing station are arranged on a carrier that is mounted on a machine frame such that the carrier is pivotable about a vertical axis of rotation. As a result of a 180&#xb0; rotation about the axis of rotation, one of the processing modules is moved from the working position to the waiting position, while the other processing module is simultaneously moved from the waiting position to the working position.

Cable processing device

A linear axle for contactless energy transmission has a belt with an electrical conductor, a movable carriage and a circuit that is movable with the carriage and which is electrically connected with the conductor. In addition, a locationally fixed circuit and an inductive coupling device are provided to inductively couple electrical energy from the locationally fixed circuit into the conductor of the belt.
