Cable processing equipment for processing cable cores of a multi-core cable includes separating elements that are introducible between the cable cores and are movable along the cable cores with combing effect. The separating elements are arranged in star shape and are movable in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the cable. The cable processing equipment further includes a forming tool for preshaping the core ends, which ends are separated by the separating elements, of the cable cores of the multi-core cable. The forming tool includes a forming die with core receptacles for receiving the cable cores and a guide sleeve for embracing the cable cores.

Cable processing equipment for removing a screening film from a screened multi-core round cable includes four knives radially movable relative to the cable for cutting into the screening film. In that case, each knife is associated with a cable core of the round cable. The knives have concavely formed cutting edges and guide elements, which guide elements have guide sections in which the cable cores encased by the screening film are receivable. The knives protrude relative to the guide elements in the region of the guide sections by a projection length. The guide sections have a concave circularly cylindrical shape and form a concave abutment surface for the cable cores.

At least two transporting and take-off rollers (2, 2') interact for the gripping of a cable (1) to be transported. The axes of rotation (3, 3') of the transporting and take-off rollers are each rotatably arranged on a cantilever arm (7, 7') capable of swivelling together about a second turning axis (6) arranged on a turning platform (10) and running perpendicular to the former axis and parallel to a common straight line (5) connecting the said two rollers (2, 2'). At least one of the two transporting and take-off rollers (2, 2') is arranged laterally adjustable in relation to its distance (a) from the second transporting and take-off roller (7). Further, first drive devices (25) connected so that they can swivel together with the turning platform (10), are provided for driving the two transporting and take-off rollers (2, 2'). Second drive devices (16) drive-connected to the turning platform (10) are provided for obtaining a precisely defined rotational movement of the turning platform (10) about the first turning axis (4).
