A cable bushing fitting machine includes: a fitting region; a mandrel disposed at said fitting region, said mandrel being hollow to receive a cable therethrough; a first rotatably mounted stripping jaw arranged in the fitting region; a second rotatably mounted stripping jaw arranged in the fitting region; a drive configured to mount cable bushings onto cable by successively disposing respective ones of the cable bushings onto the mandrel, feeding the cable through the mandrel, and executing a relative movement between the mandrel and the first and second rotatably mounted stripping jaws to locate the respective cable bushings onto the cable; a camera directed toward the fitting region to capture images of the respective cable bushings located on the cable; and at least the first rotatably mounted stripping jaw having a rotation axis, the first stripping jaw rotation axis being laterally offset from an optical axis of said camera by a distance sufficient to permit the camera unimpeded views of cable bushings in the fitting region when the first stripping jaw is at least to a first selected extent opened.

Processes for fitting cable bushings

A method for fitting a cable bushing onto a cable includes: providing a fitting region; providing a mandrel at the fitting region, the mandrel being hollow to receive a cable therethrough; pushing a cable bushing onto the hollow mandrel; directing a camera towards the fitting region; providing at least two stripping jaws to grasp the cable bushing, the providing step including the step of providing at least rotatable one of the stripping jaws in rotatable manner to rotate on respective a stripping jaw rotation axis that is laterally offset from a camera an optical axis of the camera; rotating the at least one of the stripping jaws towards closing to grasp the cable bushing with the stripping jaws; pushing a cable into the hollow mandrel; executing a relative movement between the hollow mandrel and the stripping jaws to push the cable bushing onto the cable; and rotating the at least one of the stripping jaws to open them to an a selected open extent that permits the camera to have an unimpeded view of the fitted cable bushing.

Machine and processes for fitting cable bushings

A cable fitting transfer unit includes a holding arbor configured to accommodate cable fittings thereon; a conveyor configured to transport cable fittings to the holding arbor; a cable fitting fitter configured to receive cable fittings from the holding arbor; and, a force transducer operatively connected to measure accommodation force in the holding arbor during the accommodation of cable fittings, the force transducer being situated at the holding arbor.

Apparatus for fitting cables with cable sleeves

Machines for fitting cable bushings on a cable have a hollow mandrel () for receiving cable bushing () and a cable in a fitting region (A). Rotatably mounted stripping jaws () arranged in the fitting region (A) fit the cable bushing () on the cable. A camera () is directed towards the fitting region (A). A rotation axis of at least one of the stripping jaws () is at a lateral distance from ray-of-view (D) originating from the camera () and running through the fitting region (A). The stripping jaws () may be opened to an extent that makes it possible for the camera () to have an unimpeded view of the fitted cable bushing (). Related methods for operating such machines () are also disclosed.

Machines and processes for fitting cable bushings

A method for fitting cables () with seals (), in which the seals () are accommodated via a transfer unit and mounted on the mentioned cable (). While the seal () is being accommodated via the transfer unit, its orientation on the holding arbor () is mechanically-electrically and fully automatically checked. If a seal () is incompletely or partially punched through, it is removed from the holding arbor (). Equally, a seal () which is not accommodated by the holding arbor (), is removed from the accommodation area. Also a transfer unit for seals () or comparable cable fitting components for a cable processing plant, the transfer unit encompassing a holding arbor () for accommodating seals (), wherein at least one force and/or pressure transducer () is situated on or in the holding arbor ().

Method for fitting cables with cable sleeves

A cable processing machine has cable grommet fitting apparatusfitting cable grommetsonto a cable. The grommet fitting apparatus includes a loose material containerfor receiving a plurality of loose cable grommets, a conveyor separating the cable grommetslocated in the loose material container and conveying the separated cable grommetsto a mounting location. The machine includes a grommet mountermounting the conveyed cable grommetsonto cable. The conveyor includes a continuous, annular conveyorprotruding into the loose material containeras well as a grommet receiverreceiving and raising the cable grommets. Grommet receiversmay be arranged on the inside of the conveyor ring.

Cable grommet fitting apparatus for cable

Apparatus for separating out and conveying of cable sleeves for assembly of the separated cable sleeves onto cable. The included device relates to a bulk material container () accommodating plural loose cable sleeves, and a conveyor system () conveying the loose cable sleeves located in the bulk material container () to a separation and transportation system (). A cross-sectional constriction () is provided in the transition passage () from the bulk material container () to the conveyor system ().
