A twisting device () for twisting or stranding electrical or optical lines () to form a line bundle (). The twisting device () comprises at least one first twisting head () and a clamping device (). The first twisting head () and the clamping device () are spaced apart from each other. The twisting device () has at least one detecting device () for capturing information indicative of a lay length of the line bundle (). The at least one detecting device () can be moved relative to the first twisting head () and the clamping device ().

Twisting device and method for determining or checking a lay length of a line bundle, computer- implemented method, and computer program product and upgrade kit therefor

A device () for braking a conductor. The device () comprises a braking element (), which is able to be put into an operative connection with a conductor guided in a conveying direction of the device (), and a contact pressure element () which is able to put into an operative connection with the conductor guided in the device (). The contact pressure element () is arranged opposite the braking element () and the elements are movable relative to one another. The contact pressure element () is arranged on a brake lever () mounted in a pivotable manner on a pivot pin (). Furthermore, a method for braking the conductor and to a cable processing machine having the device () are also disclosed.

Device and method for braking a conductor

Twisting device for electrical conductors has at least one twisting head that rotates about an axis of rotation and a clamping device. The twisting head is movable in the direction of its axis of rotation toward the clamping device and is mounted on a first, motorized length compensation carriage, while the clamping device is mounted on a travel compensation carriage that is movable towards the length compensation carriage parallel to the axis of rotation of the twisting head. After the conductors have been cut to size and transferred to the twisting head and the clamping device, they are placed under tension. Then, the twisting head is activated to rotate about an axis of rotation parallel to the conductors while simultaneously moving towards the clamping device. Simultaneously, the clamping device is subjected to a force directed away from the twisting head and the travel/force profile for the clamping device is evaluated.

Twisting device for electrical conductors

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

A twist application device, including a feeder () for feeding conductor ends () of at least two conductors (), and a rotatably mounted twist application head () for twisting the conductors (). The twist application device also includes a controller (), connected with a drive () for first clamping jaws () of the feeder (), and is equipped for control of the latter. The distance (a) between clamped conductor ends () is set at an adjustable value before the transfer of the conductor ends () from the feed device () into the twist application head (). A method of twisting at least two conductors (), in which the referred-to distance (a) is set at an adjustable value before clamping of the conductor ends () in the second jaws () of the twist application head ().

Twist application device with an adjustable distance between the conductor ends

A twist application device, including a feeder () for feeding conductor ends () of at least two conductors (), and a rotatably mounted twist application head () for twisting the said conductors (). The twist application device also includes a controller (), connected with a drive () for first clamping jaws () of the feeder (), and is equipped for control of the latter. The distance (a) between clamped conductor ends () is set at an adjustable value before the transfer of the conductor ends () from the feed device () into the twist application head (). A method of twisting at least two conductors (), in which the referred-to distance (a) is set at an adjustable value before clamping of the conductor ends () in the second jaws () of the twist application head (). In alternative aspect, a feed device () for feeding conductor ends () of conductors () into a further processing device (). The feed device () has first clamping jaws (), and the further processing device () has second clamping jaws () for accepting and clamping the conductor ends (). The first jaws () in a clamping position can be relatively moved so that distance (a) between ends () may be altered. An intermediate space, located between first jaws (), extends, in a direction of movement (A) for altering the distance between clamped ends (), at least twice as far as in a clamping direction (B). Also a method, in which a variable position of the first jaws () is adjusted in accordance with a selected distance (a) between the ends () before clamping of the ends (), and the first jaws () are moved into a prescribed position before the clamping of the ends () in the second jaws () of the further processing device ().

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 gripper for electrical or optical lines (') such as wires, cables, line bundles, optical fibers has two gripper jaws (&#x2032;) movable relative to a counterbearing as well as relative to one another. Twisting heads () for twisting apparatuses for the lines (&#x2032;) are equipped with such grippers. The gripper and the twisting head () and the twisting apparatus are provided with a drive arrangement including at least one adjustable-force drive () that acts via a link chain (&#x2032;) on gripper jaw (&#x2032;). The link chain (&#x2032;) in this case has a section (&#x2032;) movable parallel to the drive (), but in the opposite direction of movement.
