Abstract
An equipping arrangement for equipping connector housings with fitted-out cable ends of cables has an equipping gripping unit that provides subsequent gripping, when necessary, during inserting the fitted-out cable end into the connector housing. A cable gripper has two gripper jaws grasping and gripping the cable when actuated by an actuator operated with fluid pressure. An alignment module rotationally corrects alignment of the fitted-out cable end using an optical detection device determining the rotational position of the fitted-out cable end. The detection device monitors an opening motion of the gripper jaws to create an intermediate position. A control unit controls the actuator and calibrates the actuator with regard to the subsequent gripping based on data of the opening motion of the gripper jaws determined by the detection device.
