Abstract
A device and a method twist single cables about a twisting axis to form a cable bundle along an extension axis. The device includes single rotating units, which are spaced from one another at a variable distance, for separately holding cable ends at one end of the single cables, wherein each single rotating unit is mounted rotatably about an associated pivot axis, wherein each pivot axis runs substantially perpendicular to the extension axis of the cable bundle; a twisting unit for holding and twisting cable ends at the other end of the single cables; and a distance-adjusting apparatus for adjusting the variable distance.
Claims12
A device (100) for twisting single cables (11, 12) about a twisting axis (V) to form a cable bundle (10) along an extension axis (A), the device comprising:
- single rotating units (41, 42), which are spaced from one another at a variable distance (45), for separately holding cable ends (15, 16) at one end of the single cables (11, 12), wherein each single rotating unit (41, 42) is mounted rotatably about an associated pivot axis (41f, 42f), wherein each pivot axis (41f, 42f) runs substantially perpendicular to the extension axis (A) of the cable bundle (10);
- a twisting unit (30) for holding and twisting cable ends at the other end of the single cables (11, 12);
- and
- a distance-adjusting apparatus (50) for adjusting the variable distance (45).
