Abstract
A cable core self-aligning apparatus comprises core feeding means for holding a plurality of cores, drawn out of an end of a cable, in a line and sequentially feeding the cores; rotational conveyor means having a conveying rotor for holding and rotationally conveying each of the cores to a core extracting position; and core identifying means for identifying the number of each core while that core is being conveyed to the core extracting position by the rotational conveyor means. The cable core self-aligning apparatus also includes a core holder having a plurality of core-positioning sections; core-holder positioning means for setting that of the core-positioning sections which is associated with the number of the core identified by the core identifying means, at the core extracting position when the core holder receives the identified core; and core handling means for holding and inserting the core reaching the core extracting position by the help of the conveying rotor, into the core-positioning section set by the core-holder positioning means.
