Abstract
A cable processing machine has a processing region for processing cables, an operating region for operation of the machine by an operator, a conveying device that conveys batches of cables processed in the processing region from the processing region to the operating region, a cable storage device having a receiving portion accessible from the processing region for receiving individual cables processed in the processing region and a removal portion accessible from the operating region for safe removal of the individual cables by the operator, as well as a feed device that feeds the cables processed in the processing region either to the conveying device or to the receiving portion.
Claims17
A cable processing machine for processing cables, the cable processing machine comprising:
- a processing region for processing cables;
- an operating region for operation of the cable processing machine by an operator;
- a conveying device that conveys batches of cables processed in the processing region from the processing region to the operating region;
- a cable storage means having a receiving portion accessible from the processing region for receiving individual cables processed in the processing region, and a removal portion accessible from the operating region for removal of the individual cables from the cable storage means by the operator;
- and
- a feed device that places each of the cables processed in the processing region either in the conveying device or in the receiving portion.
A cable processing machine for processing cables, the cable processing machine comprising:
- a processing region for processing cables;
- an operating region for operation of the cable processing machine by an operator;
- a conveying device that conveys batches of cables processed in the processing region from the processing region to the operating region;
- a cable storage means having a receiving portion accessible from the processing region for receiving individual cables processed in the processing region, and a removal portion accessible from the operating region for removal of the individual cables from the cable storage means by the operator;
- a feed device that places each of the cables processed in the processing region either in the conveying device or in the receiving portion;
- a protective wall at least partially surrounding the processing region during operation of the cable processing machine to prevent the operator from reaching into the processing region;
- wherein the protective wall has a first passage and a second passage formed therein;
- wherein the conveying device conveys the batches of cables through the first passage;
- wherein the removal portion is formed at the second passage;
- and
- wherein the cable storage means is a container having a container opening formed therein, wherein the container is arranged in the second passage and is movable between a receiving position and a removal position, and wherein the container opening is accessible from the processing region when in the receiving position and is accessible from the operating region when in the removal position.
