  • the turning of the or both ends of at least one line 1 takes place during the transport standstill and is necessary when the crimping part or 33 in question is or are to be inserted into the housing or housings 31, 32 in a position rotated about the line axis.
  • the rotary tongs 44 can be rotated through 180 ° about their longitudinal shaft 46, by means of which the rotary tongs 44 are mounted and driven by a drive, not shown.
  • the axes of rotation 47 of both tongs 44 are aligned with the associated ends of the relevant line 1 at the relevant point of the cycle standstill, the tongs 44 being arranged on the outside of the transport chains 42.
  • the lines 1 reach the action area of a collecting device 51 for the line 1, consisting of two, during their transport in the direction of arrow 4
  • Collecting device halves 52, 53 of which 52 is associated with device half 34 and 53 is associated with device half 35.
  • Each collecting device half 52, 53 has a collector block 54, which can optionally be moved back and forth in a preferably substantially rectangular orbit 55, which extends in a vertical plane oriented along the transport direction 4, and at least the lower track section 56 of which has parallel track sections to the transport direction 4.
  • each collecting device half 52, 53 has several, here three collector blocks 54a, 54b, 54c, each of which can optionally be moved in the circumferential direction 10 of the orbit 55 from a loading station 57 to an unloading station 58 and further on the orbit 55 back to the loading station 57 are independent of each other, which is possible, for example, with individual drives for each collector block.
  • the collector blocks which are located opposite each other laterally and are designated by the same reference symbols 54a, 54b, 54c, each form a pair of collector blocks, of which one or both collector blocks, here the collector blocks 54a, in the area of the loading station 57, in both directions of movement, see double arrow 50, of the orbit 55 are optionally movable. In the remaining area of the orbit 55, the collector block pairs can be moved synchronously opposite one another.
  • the collector blocks 54a, 54b, 54c form a storage device for the lines 1.
  • the loading station 57 is located in the rear area of the transport chain 3.
  • the orbits 55 or the distributor blocks 54a, 54b, 54c are offset inwards relative to the associated transport chain 42.
  • a transfer device is arranged, with which the ends of the lines 1 are removed from the take-over pliers 41 and the collector block pairs 54a, 54b, 54c in one certain order are passed, which have this takeover elements.
  • the transfer devices are formed by clamping pliers 61 arranged one behind the other on the collector blocks 54 and along the transport direction 4, which can be of conventional design and each between a downwardly extended take-over position, in which they are located in the transport plane 40, and one the transport position which is retracted upwards can be displaced by drive devices 62 which, in the present embodiment, protrude upwards from the collector blocks 54.
  • the clamping pliers 61 are located in a smaller grid r than the grid R of the take-over pliers 41, ie the same distance between the clamp pliers 61 is smaller than the distance of the take-over pliers 41 from one another.
  • the grid dimension R between the take-over pliers 41 is approximately twice as large as the grid dimension r between the clamp pliers 61.
  • the transfer station 57 comprises a plurality of take-over pliers 41 one behind the other.
  • a specific clamp pliers 61 are moved over a specific take-over pliers 41, stopped, at the cycle standstill of the takeover pliers 41, which are moved forward in cycles, into the takeover position, gripping the end of the associated line 1, and are raised again into the transport position in the collecting plane 40a.
  • the collector blocks 54a of the pair of collector blocks located at the transfer station 57 can be moved independently of one another along the two directions of rotation (double arrow 50) in such a way that the clamping jaw 61 of an optionally determinable loading point A to H via an optional loading station 57 located in the area of the loading station 57 Takeover pliers 41 driven, locked, extended and retracted.
  • the right ends of the lines have been picked up in succession from the right collector block 54a, the loading point F not being loaded is.
  • the left collector block 54a has been moved irregularly with respect to its loading points A to H, so that certain left ends of certain lines 1 are offset from one another in the collecting plane 40a.
  • the left header block 54a at loading point A does not have the end of first line 1 but the end of fifth line 1.
  • the end of first line 1 is located at loading point B and loading point C is not loaded. In this way, one end or both ends of certain lines 1 can be assigned selectable housing chambers 30.
  • the clamping tongs 61 grip the ends of the lines 1 at an inward distance from the crimping parts 33.
  • a collector block pair 54a, 54b, 54c is loaded with a bundle of lines 1, it is moved to the unloading station 58 and unloaded in the order of the loading points A to H. 3, the collector block pair 54b is moved step by step in such a way that the loading points A to H pass through the unloading station 58 one after the other. Then the two clamping pliers 61, which are located on each side above the unloading station 58, are extended into an always identical delivery position L, in which they deliver the cable ends to two mounting pliers 63 arranged on both sides, the clamping jaws 64 of which preferably line the cable ends directly behind the crimping part 33 take.
  • the insertion pliers 63 are then moved parallel to the rotation plane UE along the double arrow 65, preferably together, into an insertion position M, in which they are each at a distance d on the inside from the housings 31, 32, and then moved outwards, see double arrow 66, whereby they push the crimped parts 33 into certain associated housing chambers 30. This is possible due to the sag or the loop S of the lines 1.
  • Each housing 31, 32 is held on a coordinate table of known design, which is adjustable and positionable in a direction of movement X parallel to the direction of transport 4, a direction of movement Y perpendicular thereto and preferably also perpendicular to both directions of movement Z such that a definable housing chamber 30 of the housings 31, 32 arranged parallel to the circulation plane UE is located coaxially to the mounting position M.
  • These intermittent movements of the housing 31, 32 or coordinate tables are adapted to the intermittent reciprocating movements of the insertion pliers 63 along the double arrow 65, so that the outward transverse movements of the insertion pliers 63 along the double arrow 66 take place when the housing 31, 32 is at a standstill.
  • the coordinate tables can be moved uniformly or independently of one another, so that housing chambers 30 arranged opposite one another in mirror image or optionally determinable housing chambers 30 of the housings 31, 32 can be fitted. Each of them can be assigned its own or a common drive.
  • the housings 31, 32 or the coordinate tables or a common coordinate table can optionally also be moved step by step in the grid spacing of the housing chambers 30 in such a way that the housing chambers 30 to be populated arrive in the sequence at the placement point M.
  • the insertion pliers 63 are first moved inwards and then back to the position L, in which they grip a new line end from the next clamping pliers 61.
  • the placement pliers 63 move downward from the delivery position L to the placement position M in the transport direction 4 on a circular arc.
  • the respectively unloaded clamping tongs 61 can be moved back into their transport position, the collector block pair, here 54b, moved forward by the dimension of the next loading point A to H and then the next pair of clamping tongs 61 can be moved forward into the delivery position L.
  • the next collector block pair is loaded and moved to the unloading station 58 when the gradually unloaded collector block pair 54b has been unloaded and advanced in the direction of rotation 10 of the orbit 55.
  • the housings 31, 32 are moved in their directions of movement X, Y in such a way that first the housing chambers 30 which are further away from the placement pliers 64 - viewed from the dispensing position L - are first fitted.
  • the respective movement and sequence control, the device, in particular the collector blocks or collector block pairs 54a, 54b, 54c, the coordinate tables or the housings 31, 32 and also the function control of the rotary tongs 44 is taking into account the respective positions of the ends of the lines 1 to be occupied housing chambers controlled by a process computer, which is programmed taking into account the respective desired arrangement.
