Grommet station

A grommet station including a grommet assembly module for providing a cable end of a cable with a grommet during an assembly operation, the grommet assembly module comprising:

• an assembly unit with an expansion sleeve for holding the grommet in an expanded state of the grommet and for placing the grommet onto the cable end;
• a transfer unit having a mandrel onto which the grommet can be pushed in an acquisition position of the transfer unit and the transfer unit being in operative connection with the assembly unit in a delivery position of the transfer unit such that the mandrel provides the assembly unit with the grommet;
• wherein the expansion sleeve of the assembly unit temporarily encompasses the mandrel in the delivery position;
• wherein the mandrel and the expansion sleeve are oriented on a longitudinal central axis in the delivery position;
• wherein the assembly unit includes a grommet-receiving device for receiving and holding the grommet during the assembly operation;
• and
• wherein the expansion sleeve is formed in two parts with two radially counter-movable shell parts, the grommet-receiving device is formed in two parts with two jaws, each of the jaws is movable together with one of the shell parts between a closed position and an open position.
