Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing battery terminals comprising different steps, during which a continuous wire ( ) is cut ( ) into predefined lengths, and then a pin head and point are formed. To this end, a conveyor path ( ) is used, at the end of which the pegs ( ) fall into a receptacle. In order to accelerate and simplify finishing of the pointed pins ( ), the aftertreatment of the pin points takes place on the conveyor path ( ), between the sharpening stage ( ) and the collecting receptacle ( ), during which unwanted burrs can be removed on another cylinder ( ). As a result, already finished pins fall into the receptacle at the end of the conveyor path.
