US 12,577,062 B2 · Machine network and method for arranging cables according to a specified cable sequence

Abstract

A machine network for arranging cables according to a specified cable sequence includes first and second cable output devices and a cable transport device. The sequence includes cable types from at least one first and one second cable type group. The first cable type group includes only the first cable type and the second cable type group includes only the second cable type. The first cable output device is configured for outputting a first cable type group cable. The second cable output device is configured for outputting a second cable type group cable. The cable transport device is configured for selectively accepting the first cable output device cable and the second cable output device cable and for transporting the accepted cables. The selective acceptance occurs at least partially according to the specified cable sequence. A method for arranging cables according to the specified cable sequence utilizes the machine network.
