Wire processing center
A wire processing center includes a plurality of processing modules located on or at a rotary table. The processing modules are driven via a common control and are configured to assemble cables with different cross-sections and/or to provide cable ends with contacts or the like and have a storage for cable cross-sections to be processed and/or the assembled cables. The processing modules are positioned on a rotary table which is provided with a driver in order to orient one processing module at a time with respect to at least one processing station arranged in the circumferential region of the rotary table.
1 . A wire processing center comprises:
a plurality of processing modules, which are driven via a common control unit and are configured to assemble cables with different cross-sections and/or to provide ends of the cables with contacts, and having a storage for the cables with different cross-sections to be processed and/or the assembled cables; and
a rotary table on which processing modules are positioned and which is provided with a drive in order to orient one of the plurality of processing modules at a time with respect to at least one processing station of the wire processing center arranged in a circumferential region of the rotary table;
wherein the at least one processing station is configured to be movable along a circumference of the rotary table in order to bring the cables to be processed into a processing position with respect to the processing modules, where the cables are fed to the processing modules by the at least one processing station during individual processing steps.
2 . The wire processing center according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing station has a handling device that is configured to remove cables from the storage and to transfer them to the respective one of the plurality of processing modules oriented with respect to the at least one processing station or to remove them from a processing module of the plurality of processing modules and to transfer them to a further processing module of the plurality of processing modules or to a removal storage.
3 . The wire processing center according to claim 2 , wherein the handling device is configured to hold the cables in an intermediate station when moving the rotary table.
4 . The wire processing center according to claim 1 , wherein the processing modules are respectively selected from a group of automatic cutting machine, automatic crimping machine, sleeve station, printing station, and automatic stripping machine.
5 . The wire processing center according to claim 1 , wherein a handling device is a robot driven by the common control unit.
6 . The wire processing center according to claim 1 , wherein at least some of the processing modules are processing units that can be operated individually.
7 . The wire processing center according to claim 1 , wherein a removal storage is configured as tubular storage or linear storage.
8 . The wire processing center according to claim 1 , comprising a buffer storage for an intermediate storage of cables.
