Cutting station and method for automatically cutting cable elements to a specific length

A cutting station for automatic cutting of cable elements to a specific length, the cutting station comprising:

• a magazine which extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and has a plurality of holders and each holder of the plurality of holders is formed for holding one of the cable elements, wherein the cable elements are held side by side in a magazine plane by the plurality of holders, each holder extending in the longitudinal direction;
• and
• a processing head extending in the longitudinal direction, the processing head is adapted to be moved in the transverse direction relative to the magazine and is designed for processing, namely for gripping, pulling off and cutting to a specific length a selected cable element, the selected cable element being one of the cable elements from the magazine,
• wherein each holder from the plurality of holders has two fixing elements spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction for holding the cable element, and
• wherein the cutting station includes at least one lifting element for lifting a selected holder perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction from the magazine plane into a working plane.
