Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kabelbearbeitungsmaschine mit einer Schwenkeinrichtung zum Bedienen von Bearbeitungsstationen mit Kabelenden von Kabelabschnitten, wobei die Schwenkeinrichtung einen Schwenkarm mit einem Greifer aufweist, der die Bearbeitungsstationen mit den Kabelenden bedient, wobei ein an einer Konsole angeordneter Antrieb für die Schwenkbewegung des Schwenkarmes einen Drehtisch antreibt, an dem der Schwenkarm angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a cable processing machine with a pivoting device for operating processing stations with cable ends of cable sections, wherein the pivoting device comprises a pivoting arm with a gripper, which operates the processing stations with the cable ends, wherein arranged on a console drive for the pivoting movement of the pivoting arm drives a turntable on which the pivot arm is arranged.
Aus der Anmeldeschrift EP02405130.2 ist eine eine Crimpeinrichtung bedienende Schwenkeinrichtung mit zwei Schwenkarmen bekannt geworden, wobei bei der Crimpeinrichtung mit einer ersten Crimpstation und einer zweiten Crimpstation je Crimpstation ein Werkzeugtisch mit Werkzeugstationen und eine Crimppresse vorgesehen ist. Ein Kabel wird mittels eines Bandantriebes vorgeschoben, wobei das voreilende Kabelende von einem an einem ersten Schwenkarm angeordneten ersten Greifer übernommen wird, der das abisolierte Kabelende der ersten Crimpstation zuführt. Nachdem das voreilende Kabelende mit einem Crimpkontakt versehen worden ist, bewegt sich der erste Schwenkarm in die Achse des Bandantriebes zurück. Danach schiebt der Bandantrieb das Kabel weiter vor, bis die gewünschte Länge des Kabelabschnittes erreicht ist. Eine Trenn- und Abisolierstation trennt den Kabelabschnitt vom Kabel und entfernt an den Kabelenden die Isolation. Das nacheilende Kabelende des Kabelabschnittes wird von einem an einem zweiten Schwenkarm angeordneten zweiten Greifer übernommen, der das nacheilende Kabelende der zweiten Crimpstation zur Bestückung mit einem Crimpkontakt zuführt. Mit den auf einer Drehscheibe angeordneten Werkzeugstationen ist ein Wechsel von einer Kontaktart auf eine andere Kontaktart mit minimaler Stillstandszeit der Crimppresse möglich.The patent application EP02405130.2 discloses a pivoting device with two pivoting arms which operates a crimping device, wherein a tooling table with tool stations and a crimping press is provided in the crimping device with a first crimping station and a second crimping station per crimping station. A cable is advanced by means of a belt drive, wherein the leading end of the cable is taken over by a arranged on a first pivot arm first gripper which supplies the stripped cable end of the first crimping station. After the leading cable end has been crimped, the first pivot arm moves back into the axis of the tape drive. Thereafter, the tape drive advances the cable further until the desired length of the cable section is reached. A separation and Stripping station separates the cable section from the cable and removes the insulation at the cable ends. The trailing cable end of the cable section is taken over by a second gripper arranged on a second pivot arm, which feeds the trailing cable end of the second crimping station for placement with a crimp contact. With the arranged on a turntable tool stations, a change from one type of contact to another type of contact with minimal downtime of the crimping press is possible.
Aus der Schrift US 6 357 575 ist ein Kabelzubringer bekannt geworden, der im wesentlichen aus einer ersten Antriebseinheit, einer zweiten Antriebseinheit, einer dritten Antriebseinheit und aus Greifern besteht. Die erste Antriebseinheit weist eine um einen dritten Drehpunkt drehbare Plattform auf, die über einen Riemen mittels eines Motors angetrieben ist. Die zweite Antriebseinheit ist von der Plattform getragen und auf dieser mittels dritter Antriebseinheit in der Richtung einer Achse verschiebbar angeordnet. Die Greifer mit den Kabelenden sind im Arbeitsbereich eines Abisolierautomaten gezeigt, wobei die zweite Antriebseinheit so angesteuert ist, dass beide Kabelachsen parallel verlaufen und die Kabelenden gleichzeitig abisoliert werden. Danach wird die zweite Antriebseinheit mit den Greifern in der Richtung der Achse mittels dritter Antriebseinheit rückwärts verschoben und in den Arbeitsbereich des nachfolgenden Automaten zur Bestückung von Dichtungstüllen geschwenkt. Nach dieser Operation werden die Kabelenden in den Arbeitsbereich eines Crimpautomaten gebracht.From document US 6,357,575 a Kabelzubringer is known, which consists essentially of a first drive unit, a second drive unit, a third drive unit and grippers. The first drive unit has a platform rotatable about a third pivot point which is driven via a belt by means of a motor. The second drive unit is supported by the platform and slidably disposed thereon by means of a third drive unit in the direction of an axis. The grippers with the cable ends are shown in the working area of a stripping machine, wherein the second drive unit is driven so that both cable axes are parallel and the cable ends are stripped simultaneously. Thereafter, the second drive unit is moved backwards with the grippers in the direction of the axis by means of a third drive unit and pivoted into the working area of the following machine for the assembly of sealing grommets.

Ein Nachteil der bekannten Einrichtungen liegt darin, dass ein Schwenkarm je Kabelende notwendig ist, obwohl beide Kabelende derselben Bearbeitung unterzogen werden. Solche Schwenkeinrichtungen sind mechanisch aufwendig und brauchen eine komplexe Steuerung.A disadvantage of the known devices is that a pivot arm per cable end is necessary, although both Cable end of the same processing be subjected. Such pivoting devices are mechanically complex and need a complex control.
