AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, clamping fixtures are prone to clamping or damaging the cable when the positioning is inaccurate, making it difficult to efficiently and safely unload the cable.
By employing a sliding component and a clamping component, after the first clamping part is attached to the surface of the ribbon cable, the second clamping part is swung inward by the first drive to form a clamping gap, thereby fixing the ribbon cable.
This reduces the need for precise positioning, minimizes the risk of misalignment or damage to the cable, and improves the reliability and safety of the material cutting process.

[0002] A ribbon cable consists of a core wire, a core sheath, a semi-conductive component, an outer shield, an outer sheath, and terminals. The ribbon cable is typically a flat shape with 4 to 6 wires arranged side-by-side. In existing technology, clamping fixtures include a pair of clamping arms that can open or close relative to each other. During material handling, the flat ribbon cable needs to be moved relative to each other into the clamping gap between the clamping arms. Precise positioning of the ribbon cable is required, and inaccurate positioning can easily lead to gapping or damage to the ribbon cable. Utility Model Content
