Abstract
An electrical cable-making apparatus comprises a feeding device (16) for feeding a shielded ribbon electrical cable (11) and discrete electrical insulated conductors (12) from supply members (23,24) along a path (15), a clamping device (17) clamps onto the cable (11) and conductors (12) and moves the cable and conductors along the path a specified distance, clamping devices (18,20) move adjacent cutting and stripping members (18a,19a) band clamp onto the cable and conductors, cutting blades (29a,29b) of the cutting and stripping members (19a,19b) cut the cable and conductors while the stripping blades (27a,27b and 28a,28b) cut through an outer jacket (11e) and shield (11d) of the cable (11) stripping the outer jacket and shield from the cable when the clamping devices (18,20) move in opposite directions exposing cable conductors (11c) of the cable (11) and forming trailing and newly-formed leading ends of the cable conductors (11c) and discrete conductors, the trailing and newly-formed conductor ends are positioned by the clamping devices (18,20) for termination by terminating devices (21a,21b and 22a,22b) to electrical contacts of electrical connectors (14,13').
