Abstract
A device for the transporting of cable sections is provided where cables (19), with a length of up to about 10 meters, are transported step by step from processing station to processing station along a cable-processing line with a processing station disposed on the two sides of the cable-processing line. A cable (19), gripped on one side by a stationary gripper (15), is discharged with a cable feed device with the aid of an insertable deflector (49) into a receiver provision (11) for forming a cable bundle (20). The receiver device (11), with the cable bundle (20) on the one hand, and the two cable ends (21, 22) gripped by a gripper (18) on the other hand, are moving in a forward direction independent of each other cyclically in like fashion. The gripper (18) of a rotatably disposed transfer module (17) can be rotated during a transfer cycle by 180 degrees such that the two cable ends (21, 22) as desired can be directed toward one or toward a second side of the processing line. Instead of the conventionally required pair-wise provided processing stations for the processing of the two cable ends (21, 22), only one such station is sufficient, which is disposed either on one and/or on the second side of the processing line. The finished processed cable is discharged or pulled out of the transport container (1) at the end of the processing line.
