Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kabelbearbeitungseinrichtung mit Konfektionierstationen zur Konfektionierung eines Kabels, umfassend einen Maschinenständer, der zwei Schwenkarme trägt, denen jeweils eine Kabelzuführung zugeordnet ist, wobei es die Schwenkarme jeweils gestatten, das jeweilige Kabel aufeinanderfolgend zumindest zwei Konfektionierstationen zuzuführen, die dem Maschinenständer seitlich benachbart zugeordnet und zu einer ersten Maschinengruppe zusammengefasst sind.The invention relates to a cable processing device with confectioning stations for packaging a cable, comprising a machine stand, which carries two pivot arms, each associated with a cable feed, wherein the pivot arms each allow the respective cable sequentially supply at least two confectioning stations, which laterally adjacent to the machine stand and are combined into a first group of machines.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Eine solche Kabelbearbeitungseinrichtung ist aus der EP1447888A1 bekannt. Der Schwenkarm wird dabei zur Konfektionierung eines Kabels sehr schnell zwischen den verschiedenen Bearbeitungsstationen der einzigen ersten Maschinengruppe hin- und hergeschwenkt, was zur Vermeidung non Unfällen dazu zwingt, die Kabelbearbeitungsstation aus Sicherheitsgründen insgesamt still zu setzen, während eine neue Bearbeitungsstation eingerichtet wird. Dies kann einen erheblichen Zeitverlust bedeuten.Such a cable processing device is known from EP1447888A1 known. The swivel arm is very quickly swung back and forth between the various processing stations of the single first machine group for making a cable, which forces to avoid non-accidents to put the cable processing station for safety reasons altogether silent, while a new processing station is set up. This can mean a significant loss of time.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine solche Kabelbearbeitungseinrichtung derart weiter zu entwickeln, dass derartige Zeitverluste beim Einrichten der Kabelbearbeitungsstationen nicht mehr auftreten.The invention is based on the object to further develop such a cable processing device such that such time losses no longer occur when setting up the cable processing stations.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Auf vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen nehmen die Unteransprüche Bezug.This object is achieved in a device according to the preamble by the characterizing features of claim 1. In advantageous developments, the dependent claims.

Demgemäss ist es bei der erfindungsgemäßen Kabelbearbeitungseinrichtung vorgesehen, dass im Wirkungsbereich eines jeden Schwenkarms zumindest zwei zweite Maschinengruppen vorgesehen sind und dass das jeweilige Kabel von jedem Schwenkarm alternativ nur den Konfektionierstationen der jeweiligen ersten oder der zweiten Maschinengruppe zuführbar ist. Es befindet sich somit jeweils nur eine Maschinengruppe des jeweiligen Schwenkarms in einer Arbeitsposition, in der sie von dem Schenkarm erreichbar ist, und die andere in einer Rüstposition außerhalb des momentanen Schwenkbereichs des Schwenkarms. Die in der Rüstposition befindlichen Maschinengruppe kann daher von den Bedienern gefahrlos in Arbeitspausen vorgerichtet und nach Abarbeitung eines Auftrags auf der zuvor im Wirkungsbereich des jeweiiligen Schwenkarms befindlichen Maschinengruppe zur Abarbeitung des Folgeauftrags durch einfaches Umschalten in Betrieb genommen werden. Dies kann sehr schnell geschehen und erfordert nicht mehr die bisherigen und zum Teil sehr langen Betriebsunterbrechungen.Accordingly, it is provided in the case of the cable processing device according to the invention that at least two second machine groups are provided in the area of action of each swivel arm and that the respective cable of each swivel arm can alternatively only be fed to the confectioning stations of the respective first or second machine group. It is thus in each case only one machine group of the respective pivot arm in a working position in which it can be reached by the gift arm, and the other in a set-up position outside the current pivoting range of the pivot arm. The group of machines located in the set-up position can therefore be safely prepared by the operators during work breaks and after execution of an order on the previously located in the sphere of action of jeweiiligen swivel arm machine group to process the follow-up order by simply switching in operation. This can happen very quickly and no longer requires the previous and sometimes very long business interruptions.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich bewährt, wenn die ersten und zweiten Maschinengruppen beiderseits des Maschinenständers angeordnet sind, z.B. stationär. Der Schwenkarm wird bei einer solchen Bauform einfach alternativ auf der rechten oder linken Seite des Maschinengestells eingesetzt. Die Umschaltung ist bei einer entsprechenden Programmsteuerung des Schwenkarms mit keinem besonderen Aufwand verbunden. Die Maschinengruppen können stationär feststehend angeordnet sein.It has proved to be advantageous if the first and second machine groups are arranged on both sides of the machine stand, e.g. stationary. The swivel arm is simply used alternatively in such a design on the right or left side of the machine frame. The switching is associated with a corresponding program control of the swing arm with no special effort. The machine groups may be stationarily fixed.

Falls der Maschinenständer mit einem Maschinenbett versehen ist, besteht die Möglichkeit, alle Schwenkarme und die jeweiligen Kabelzuführungen in einer Überkopflage unter dem Maschinenbett, z.B. einem Tisch, anzuordnen, um das Risiko von Unfällen weiter zu vermindern. Das Maschinenbett kann nach Art einer Tischplatte in sich geschlossen ausgebildet sein.If the machine stand is provided with a machine bed, it is possible to place all the pivot arms and the respective cable feeders in an overhead position under the machine bed, e.g. a table, to further reduce the risk of accidents. The machine bed may be formed closed in the manner of a table top.

Der Maschinenständer kann zwei spiegelbildlich angeordnete Schwenkarme und Kabelzuführungen tragen, wobei von den Schwenkarmen beiderseits des Maschinenständers angeordnete Maschinengruppen alternativ bedienbar sind. Die Kabelzuführung erfolgt von außen aus der Richtung der nach außen gedachten Verlängerung einer geraden Verbindungslinie zwischen den Schwenkachsen der beiden Schwenkarme, von oben oder unten.The machine stand can carry two mirror-image arranged pivot arms and cable feeders, wherein arranged by the pivot arms on either side of the machine stand machine groups are operated alternatively. The cable is supplied from the outside from the direction of the outward extension of a straight connecting line between the pivot axes of the two pivot arms, from above or below.

Die Maschinengruppen können beiderseits neben dem Maschinenständer angeordnete Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 umfassen, die auf einer geraden Linie alternativ in die Arbeits- und die Rüstposition verschiebbar ausgebildet sind, die sich parallel zu einer gedachten Verbindungslinie der beiden Schwenkachsen der Schwenkarme erstreckt. Die Zugänglichkeit des Bereichs, in dem sich die Schwenkarme bewegen, wird dadurch verbessert, was für den Fall des Auftretens von Betriebsstörungen von Vorteil ist.The machine groups may include machine groups 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 arranged on both sides next to the machine stand, which can alternatively be displaced on a straight line into the working position and the set-up position are formed, which extends parallel to an imaginary connecting line of the two pivot axes of the pivot arms. The accessibility of the area in which the pivot arms move is thereby improved, which is advantageous in the event of malfunction.

Ausgehend von einer gedachten Verbindungslinie der Schwenkachsen der beiden Schwenkarme besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass beiderseits neben dem Maschinenständer erste und zweite Maschinengruppen vorgesehen sind, die durch Gelenke beweglich mit dem Maschinenständer verbunden und jeweils alternativ in eine Arbeits- und eine Rüstposition verschwenkbar sind. In Hinblick auf den Raumbedarf ergeben sich hierdurch sehr günstige Bedingungen.Starting from an imaginary connecting line of the pivot axes of the two pivot arms, there is also the possibility that both sides of the machine frame first and second machine groups are provided, which are connected by joints movable with the machine frame and each alternatively in a working and a set-up position. In terms of space requirements, this results in very favorable conditions.

Die Maschinengruppen können in der Arbeits- und in der Rüstposition arretierbar ausgebildet sein, um Unfallgefahren zu vermeiden. Die Rüstposition kann durch Schutzgitter von der Arbeitsposition getrennt sein.The machine groups can be designed to be lockable in the working position and in the set-up position in order to avoid the risk of accidents. The set-up position can be separated from the working position by protective grids.

Die Maschinengruppen können einen Speicher für Kontaktelemente enthalten, die zur Festlegung an dem jeweiligen Kabel bestimmt sind, beispielsweise eine Trommel, auf der ein Band mit den entsprechenden Kontaktelementen aufgewickelt ist.The machine groups may include a memory for contact elements which are intended to be fixed to the respective cable, for example a drum on which a tape is wound with the corresponding contact elements.

Ferner können die Maschinengruppen jeweils ein Magazin zur Ablage von konfektionierten Kabeln enthalten, beispielsweise ein Kastenmagazin mit zumindest einem auswechselbaren Kasten.Furthermore, the machine groups may each contain a magazine for storing prefabricated cables, for example a box magazine with at least one interchangeable box.

Fig. 1 eine erste Bauform der erfindungsgemäßen Kabelbearbeitungseinrichtung, bei der beiderseits eines durch einen Tisch gebildeten Maschinengestells, das zwei spiegelbildlich angeordnete Schwenkarme trägt, erste und zweite Maschinengruppen angeordnet sind, die dem Maschinengestell starr zugeordnet sind in einer schematischen Ansicht von oben.

Ausführung der ErfindungEmbodiment of the invention

Die dargestellten Kabelbearbeitungsstationen dienen zur Konfektionierung von Kabeln 2, beispielsweise zum Ancrimpen von Crimpkontaktelementen an ein zuvor abisoliertes Kabelende eines Kabels 2. Dabei ist es erforderlich, extrem hohe Arbeitsgenauigkeiten einzuhalten, insbesondere beim Ancrimpen von Kontaktelementen an sehr dünne Kabel 2 von z.B. weniger als 0,5 mm Durchmesser. Selbst Temperaturänderungen und die unvermeidbaren Herstelltolleranzen der eingesetzten Halbzeuge bedürfen dabei der Berücksichtung, um einerseits einen festen Sitz der Kontaktelemente an den Kabellitzen zu erhalten und andererseits eine Beschädigung der enthaltenen Teile zu vermeiden. Dementsprechend bedürfen die benötigten Konfektionierwerkzeuge 1 einer sehr genauen Einstellung, bevor der Crimpprozess beginnt. Dies kann erfindungsgemäß außerhalb des Schwenkbereichs der Schwenkarme 4, 5 erfolgen.The illustrated cable processing stations are used for assembling cables 2, for example for crimping crimp contact elements to a previously stripped cable end of a cable 2. It is necessary to comply with extremely high working accuracies, especially when crimping contact elements to very thin cable 2 of eg less than 0, 5 mm diameter. Even temperature changes and the unavoidable manufacturing tolerances of the semi-finished products used require consideration, on the one hand a tight fit of the contact elements to the To obtain cable strands and on the other hand to avoid damage to the parts contained. Accordingly, the required confectioning tools 1 require a very accurate adjustment before the crimping process begins. This can be done according to the invention outside of the pivoting range of the pivot arms 4, 5.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Bauform zeigt verschiedene Konfektionierstationen 1 zur Konfektionierung eines Kabels 2, die jeweils in ersten Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2 und zweiten Maschinengruppen 5.1, 5.2 zur Abarbeitung eines Auftrags zusammengefasst sind.In the Fig. 1 shown design shows various packaging stations 1 for making a cable 2, which are summarized in each case in first machine groups 4.1, 4.2 and second machine groups 5.1, 5.2 for processing an order.

Die ersten und zweiten Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 sind stationär beiderseits eines Maschinenständers 3 angeordnet, der in spiegelbildlicher Anordnung zwei Schwenkarme 4, 5 mit jeweils einer Kabelzuführung trägt und der es gestattet, die Kabel 2 aufeinanderfolgend zumindest zwei der Konfektionierstationen 1 einer der Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 aufeinaderfolgend zuzuführen, die dem Maschinenständer 3 seitlich benachbart zugeordnet sind und die die vollständige Abarbeitung des jeweiligen Auftrags gestatten, beispielsweise das Abisolieren eines Kabels 2 und das nachfolgende Ancrimpen eines Kontaktelementes an das Kabel 2 in den jeweiligen Konfektionierstationen 1 einer jeden der Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2.The first and second machine groups 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 are stationarily arranged on both sides of a machine stand 3, which carries in a mirror-image arrangement two pivot arms 4, 5, each with a cable feed and which allows the cables 2 successively at least two of the confectioning stations 1 one of the machine groups 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 aufeinaderfolgenden supply, which are assigned to the machine stand 3 laterally adjacent and allow the complete processing of the order, for example stripping a cable 2 and the subsequent crimping of a contact element to the cable 2 in the respective confectioning stations 1 of each of the machine groups 4.1 , 4.2; 5.1, 5.2.

Jedem Schwenkarm 4, 5 sind dabei zwei erste Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2, derart zugeordnet, dass von jedem Schwenkarm 4, 5 alternativ nur die Konfektionierstationen der ersten Maschinengruppe 4.1, 5.1 auf der einen Seite oder der zweiten Maschinengruppe 4.2, 5.2 auf der anderen Seite des Maschinenständers 3 mit dem Kabel 2 beschickbar sind.Each swivel arm 4, 5 are two first machine groups 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2, assigned such that from each pivot arm 4, 5 alternatively only the packaging stations of the first machine group 4.1, 5.1 on the one hand or the second machine group 4.2, 5.2 on the other side of the machine stand 3 with the cable 2 can be loaded.

Die ersten und zweiten Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 sind beiderseits des Maschinenständers 3 starr angeordnet. Sie werden alternativ durch eine Verlägerung der Arbeitsposition nach rechts oder links vom Maschinenständer 3 bedient und mit dem Kabel beschickt. Die jeweils andere Maschinengruppe befindet sich während dieser Zeit gegenüberliegend in der Rüstposition und kann daher für die Abarbeitung des nächsten Auftrags vorbereitet werden, ohne die auf die gegenüberliegende Seite des Maschinenständers 3 beschränkten Schwenkbewegungen der Schwenkarme 4, 5 beachten zu müssen. Unfallgefahren wird dadurch vorbgebeugt.The first and second machine groups 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 are rigidly arranged on both sides of the machine stand 3. They are operated alternatively by an extension of the working position to the right or left of the machine stand 3 and fed with the cable. The other machine group is located during this time opposite in the set-up position and can therefore be prepared for the processing of the next job, without having to consider the limited to the opposite side of the machine stand 3 pivotal movements of the pivot arms 4, 5. Danger of accidents is thereby prevented.

Bei einer Bauform, bei der der Maschinenständer ein Maschinenbett aufweist, beispielsweise einen Tisch, besteht grundsätzlich die Möglichkeit, die Schwenkarme oberhalb davon anzuordnen, was die Zugänglichkeit verbessert.In a design in which the machine stand has a machine bed, for example a table, there is basically the possibility of arranging the pivot arms above it, which improves the accessibility.

Bevorzugt gelangt aus Gründen der höheren Arbeitssicherheit eine Bauform zur Anwendung, bei der alle Schwenkarme 4, 5 und die jeweiligen Kabelzuführungen in einer Überkopflage unter dem Maschinenbett angeordnet sind.Preferably, for reasons of higher work safety, a design is used in which all pivot arms 4, 5 and the respective cable feeders are arranged in an overhead position under the machine bed.

Wenn der Maschinenständer 3 zwei spiegelbildlich angeordnete Schwenkarme 4, 5 und Kabelzuführungen trägt, wie in allen Figuren gezeigt, sind die von den Schwenkarmen 4, 5 beiderseits angeordneten Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 nur alternativ von den Schwenkarmen erreichbar. Sie können sich daher mit beliebig großer Geschwindigkeit bewegen, ohne dass die Gefahr des Auftretens von Unfällen besteht.If the machine stand 3 carries two mirror-image arranged pivot arms 4, 5 and cable feeds, as shown in all figures, the two arms of the swivel arms 4, 5 arranged on both sides 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 only alternatively accessible from the pivot arms. You can therefore move at any speed without the risk of accidents occurring.

Neben einer starren Positionierung der Maschinengruppen, relativ zu dem Maschinenständer 3, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Schwenkachsen der beiden Schwenkarme 4, 5 auf einer geraden, gedachten Verbindungslinie angeordnet sind und dass beiderseits neben dem Maschinenständer 3 Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 vorgesehen sind, die parallel zu der Verbindungslinie alternativ in eine Arbeitsposition 6.1 oder eine Rüstposition 6.2 verschiebbar sind, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt.In addition to a rigid positioning of the machine groups, relative to the machine stand 3, as in Fig. 1 shown, there is the possibility that the pivot axes of the two pivot arms 4, 5 are arranged on a straight, imaginary connecting line and that both sides of the Machine Stands 3 Machine Groups 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 are provided, which are parallel to the connecting line alternatively displaceable in a working position 6.1 or set-up 6.2, as in Fig. 3 shown.

Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass beiderseits neben dem Maschinenständer 3 Maschinengruppen 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 vorgesehen sind, die durch Gelenke 7 beweglich mit dem Maschinenständer 3 verbunden und alternativ in eine Arbeits- und eine Rüstposition 6.1, 6.2 verschwenkbar sind, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt. Diese Bauform wird häufig aus Platzgründen bevorzugt.There is also the possibility that both sides of the machine stand 3 machine groups 4.1, 4.2; 5.1, 5.2 are provided, which are connected by joints 7 movably connected to the machine frame 3 and alternatively in a working and a set-up position 6.1, 6.2 are pivotable, as in Fig. 2 shown. This design is often preferred for reasons of space.
