Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing stranded wires, including the steps of applying an insulation layer to lines, separating the insulated lines, individually removing the insulation layer from the separated lines along a partial length of the lines, and bringing the lines together to form a stranded wire, wherein the partial lengths are arranged at the same level at least in sections for the purpose of forming a non-insulated contact region.

Claims (24)

1. a method for producing stranded wires, comprising:

applying an insulation layer to lines to produce insulated lines;

separating the insulated lines using a separating device to keep the insulated lines distanced from each other;

removing the insulation layer from the separated lines along a partial length of the insulated lines using an insulation stripping device; and

bringing the lines together after removing the insulation layer from the partial length of the lines to form a stranded wire using a stranding device such that the partial lengths of the lines are arranged at the same position at least in sections to form a non-insulated contact region.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the method takes place continuously.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein at least said removing and said bringing steps take place batchwise.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said removal step comprises laser ablation of the insulation layer.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the lines are arranged laterally spaced apart from one another during said removing step.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein different-length, non-insulated partial lengths of the lines are formed during said removing step.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein equal-length, non-insulated partial lengths of the lines, said partial lengths arranged in an offset manner, are formed during the removing step.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein different-length, non-insulated partial lengths of the lines are formed based on different transportation speeds of the lines during said removing step.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein said bringing the lines together comprises stranding the lines.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein said bringing the lines together further comprises compression molding to form a shaped stranded wire.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein ends of the non-insulated partial lengths that are disposed at a rear in a transportation direction of the lines are arranged flush when the lines are brought together in accordance with said bringing step.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein ends of the non-insulated partial lengths that are disposed at a front in a transportation direction of the lines are arranged flush when the lines are brought together in accordance with said bringing step.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the ends of the non-insulated partial lengths that are at the front in the transportation direction of the lines form a start of a new stranded wire.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the lines comprises a plurality of individual wires and/or partial stranded wires.

15. An apparatus for producing stranded wires, comprising:

an insulating device configured to apply an insulation layer to lines;

a separating device configured to separate the insulated lines to keep the insulated lines distanced from each other; and

an insulation stripping device configured to individually remove the insulation layer from the separated lines along a partial length of the lines; and

a stranding device configured to bring the lines together to form a stranded wire;

wherein the stranding device and the insulation stripping device interact such that the partial lengths of the lines are arranged at the same position at least in sections to form a non-insulated contact region.
