  • the clamping device 105 is opened so that the cable 15 is no longer clamped, and the cable 15 is further gripped by the gripping unit 50 Cable conveyor 100 inserted. This is repeated several times until the cable 15 can be securely gripped by the transport belts 102, 103 when the cable conveyor 100 is closed. This process is in 7a-7c shown.
  • the cable 15 can be tensioned.
  • the clamping device is closed and the gripping unit 50 moves back until the cable gripper 70 is in front of the straightening unit 115 (see Fig. 7c ).
  • the gripping unit 50 also moves vertically up and down in order to avoid collisions and the clamping force of the cable gripper 70 is reduced (for example by means of a pressure control valve) so that it takes the so-called semi-closed position so that the cable 15 can slide in the gripping arm 55.
  • the straightening unit 115 is then closed, which completes the actual threading process.
  • the cable 15 is transported backwards by the cable conveyor device 100 until the transport belts 102, 103 lose contact with the cable 15.
  • the cable conveyor device 100 and the straightening unit 115 are then opened and the gripping unit 50 grips the cable 15 near the clamping unit by pulling it once, again in cooperation with the clamping device 105, from the guide tube 106.
  • the gripping unit 50 is then moved to the cable changing device 110 and there transfers the cable 15 to one of the cable grippers 70 or cable holders.
  • Another example of an automated process using the handling robot 30 is the change of the crimping cassette 80 or the changing of the cassette, which is described below.
  • the crimp cassette 80 Comparable to the cable change, the crimp cassette 80 must be changed when the crimping roll inserted in the crimp cassette 80 is empty or when the article to be produced has a different crimp contact. If it is to be possible to produce continuously without manual intervention by the machine operator, the necessary crimping cassettes 80 must be provided in the crimping cassette holder 82.
  • a crimp cassette holder 82 or crimping cassette holder on one side of the crimping device 5 is sufficient to supply both crimping presses 8 or to replace the crimping cassette 80 in both crimping presses 8. If a large number of crimping cassettes 80 are provided, the crimping cassette holder 82 can be designed such that the crimping cassettes 80 are actively brought from a crimping cassette memory to a transfer position for transferring the crimping cassette 80 to the gripping arm 55.
  • Fig. 8 shows a detailed view of the crimp cassette receptacle 82 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 ,
  • the crimp cassette receptacle 82 has a plurality of spaces for crimp cassettes 80 arranged next to one another, all of which are located in the movement area of the handling robot 30.
  • Fig. 9a shows a first detailed view of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when picking up a crimp cassette 80.
  • Fig. 9b shows a second detailed view of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when picking up a crimp cassette 80.
  • the cassette is changed by possibly placing the old crimping cassette 80 in the crimping cassette holder 82 and gripping the new crimping cassette 80 by the gripping arm 55.
  • 9a and 9b show the interaction of the gripping unit 50 and the holder on the crimping cassette 80. Due to the centering function of the four retaining bolts 57, the position of the crimping cassette 80 can vary somewhat and the crimping cassette 80 can nevertheless be gripped securely by the gripping unit 50.
  • the flange elements 65, 66 of the gripper arm 55 each have openings corresponding to the retaining bolts 57. By engaging the retaining bolts 57 in the openings, the crimping cassette 80 is gripped and held by the gripping arm 55.
  • the crimping cassette 80 is then moved to or into the crimping press 8 and clamped or clamped there.
  • the crimp cassette 80 has a base plate 85 on which the crimp connection is made.
  • Fig. 10 shows a further perspective view of the crimping system 1 from Fig. 1 with a crimp cassette 80 used.
  • Fig. 11 shows a detailed view of the cable gripper 70 of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 ,
  • Another example of an automated process using the handling robot 30 is the testing of processed cables 15 or cable patterns, which is described below.
  • the cables 15 can be brought to quality inspection devices by means of the gripping unit 50. These can be taken over directly by the gripping unit 50 from the swiveled-out swivel unit 10 of the cable processing machine 5 or crimping machine or crimping device 5. In Fig. 11 the transfer from the swivel unit 10 of the cable processing machine 5 to the gripping unit 50 or the cable gripper 70 of the gripping unit 50 is taking place.
  • Fig. 12 shows a detailed view of the cable gripper 70 of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when checking the quality of the cable 15.
  • Fig. 12 shows an example of the optical measurement of the crimp height.
  • the crimp height can be measured in a simple manner at several points of the crimp contact, since the cable 15 can be positioned freely in space in different positions relative to the quality checking device 90 by means of the gripping arm 55 or the gripping unit 50.
  • FIG. 13a shows a first detailed view of the cable gripper 70 of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when guiding the cable 15.
  • Fig. 13b shows a second detailed view of the cable gripper 70 of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when guiding the cable 15.
  • Another example of an automated process using the handling robot 30 is the removal of incorrectly produced cables 15 (so-called bad cables) from the crimping device 5, which is described below.
  • the incorrectly produced cables 15 are easiest to remove from the machine if both ends of the cable 15 can be gripped.
  • the storage gripper can be used, which is already present in some machines in order to facilitate the cable storage 20.
  • the bad cable or faulty cable 15 is first transferred from the swivel unit of the crimping device 5 to the storage gripper, which grips it at the trailing end of the cable 15.
  • the leading end of the cable 15 is already in the cable storage 20 and should be removed from it.
  • the cable gripper 70 of the gripping unit 50 grips the bad cable immediately behind the storage gripper and moves with reduced gripper pressure (semi-closed position) in the direction of the leading cable end, the cable 15 sliding in the cable gripper 70.
  • 13a shows the situation when this step is completed.
  • a variant of the gripping unit 50 is shown, in which the cable gripper 70 can be rotated in order to improve the accessibility.
  • Fig. 14 shows a detailed view of the gripping unit 50 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 while holding a cable 15. Now the bad cable or the cable 15 can be disposed of outside the cable storage 20, for example by dropping it into a container.
  • Fig. 15 shows a detailed view of the cable storage 20 and the removal trough 22 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1
  • Another example of an automated process using the handling robot 30 is the removal of production lots or processed cables 15 from the removal trough 22, which is described below.
  • the cable tray 20 When the number of cables 15 desired for a production lot has been reached in the cable tray 20, the cable tray 20 is pivoted or tilted so that the lot or the cables 15 fall or fall into the removal trough 22.
  • Fig. 16 shows a detailed view of the removal trough 22 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 ,
  • the removal trough 22 is then moved in the longitudinal direction in order to bring it into an area which can be reached by the handling robot 30, and the gripping unit 50 is positioned above the removal trough 22 such that the gripping jaws 60, 61 are above the desired recess or recess of the removal trough 22 , This is in Fig. 16 shown.
  • Fig. 17a shows a first detailed view of the removal trough 22 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when removing cables 15.
  • Fig. 17b shows a second detailed view of the removal trough 22 of the crimping system 1 Fig. 1 when removing cables 15.
  • the gripping unit 50 is then lowered (see Fig. 17a ) and the gripping jaws 60, 61 are closed (see Fig. 17b ) to grab and hold the production lot or the cables 15.
  • the gripping arm 55 or the gripping unit 50 can now be raised in order to remove the cables 15 from the removal trough 22.
  • the production lots Once the production lots have been removed from the removal trough 22 or removed therefrom, they can be transferred to a suitable device, such as, for example, transport racks on which the lots or cables 15 are hung and / or transport containers into which the lots or cables 15 be placed.
  • a suitable device such as, for example, transport racks on which the lots or cables 15 are hung and / or transport containers into which the lots or cables 15 be placed.
  • the cable processing machine 5 can in addition to the in Fig. 11 shown pivot unit 10 comprise a further pivot unit.
  • the further swivel unit can move a cable 15 out of the cable processing axis 6 by using the swivel unit a part of the cable 15 is pivoted out of the cable processing axis 6.
