AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods are inadequate for independently equipping connector housings with assembled cable ends of multiple cables, particularly twisted pairs, as they fail to monitor and correct assembly issues at critical sections along the feed path, and cannot individually route and force-monitor each cable end within a cable harness.

Method used

A device with independently displaceable cable grippers allows each cable end to be fed through critical sections with a length offset, enabling individual routing and force monitoring, and includes force sensors for assembly process control.

Benefits of technology

This solution ensures successful assembly of cable ends by allowing independent handling and monitoring of each cable end, preventing misalignment and ensuring proper locking, thus overcoming the limitations of prior art in handling multi-cable systems.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for equipping at least one connector housing (200) with assembled cable ends (111, 121), in particular a twisted cable bundle (100) consisting of at least two cables (110, 120). The device (1) comprises at least two cable clips (10, 20) for gripping each of the at least two cables (110, 120) on a section (112, 122) of its free, in particular untwisted, cable end (111, 121). The at least two cable clips (10, 20) in the longitudinal direction (l) are intended for selective insertion, in particular for inserting the cable ends (111, 121) into the connector housing (200) through a section along the feed path that is potentially critical for a successful insertion process. The cable ends (111, 121) to be gripped can be moved independently of each other.
