Abstract
An apparatus (1) and method for inscribing a cable (2) moving along its axis (y) are described. The apparatus (1) comprises a jet/beam generator (3) for generating at least one jet/beam (A) which produces the inscription. Furthermore, the apparatus (1) comprises a movement unit which is prepared for moving the at least one jet/beam (A) during the inscription process in the direction (a) transverse to the cable axis (y). The movement unit may adjust the direction of movement (a) continuously in such a way that the speed component (VSy) of the jet/beam movement in the region of the cable (2) in the direction of the cable axis (y) corresponds to the speed (VL) of the cable (2).

Apparatus for inscribing a cable, comprising:
- a jet generator configured to generate an inscribing jet for cable;
- and,
- a movement unit configured to move the jet in a direction transverse to cable axis and controllably adjust this direction to correspond the speed of the cable to a cable-axis-direction speed component of the jet in the region of the cable axis, during inscription.
An apparatus for inscribing a cable, comprising:
- an inscribing module;
- a jet generator in said inscribing module;
- a line movement unit configured to controllably move said inscribing module in a direction transverse to a cable axis during cable inscription by said jet generator;
- an adjustment unit configured to controllably adjust, during cable inscription by said jet generator, an angle between said direction transverse to a cable axis in which said inscribing module moves, and said cable axis;
- said adjustment unit connected to a rotary shaft;
- said rotary shaft driving at least one arcuate gear;
- said arcuate gear connected to a mount for said inscribing module;
- a spacer unit configured to controllably change spacing between said jet generator and a cable being inscribed;
- and,
- a controller controlling said line movement unit and said adjustment unit to automatically correspond speed of moving cable being inscribed to a cable-axis-direction speed component of said line movement unit.
An apparatus for inscribing a cable, comprising:
- an inscribing module;
- a jet generator configured to generate a cable-inscribing jet, said jet generator being pivotably mounted to pivot around a pivot axis in said inscribing module;
- an adjustment unit configured to controllably adjust, during cable inscription by said jet generator, an angle between the pivot axis of said pivotably mounted jet generator and the cable axis;
- said adjustment unit connected to a rotary shaft;
- said rotary shaft driving at least one arcuate gear;
- said arcuate gear connected to a mount for said inscribing module;
- a spacer unit configured to controllably change spacing between said jet generator and a cable being inscribed;
- and,
- a controller connected to control pivotal movement of said jet generator and also said adjustment unit to automatically correspond speed of moving cable being inscribed to a speed component, in cable axis direction, of a jet generated by said jet generator.
An apparatus for inscribing a cable, comprising:
- an inscribing module;
- a jet generator configured to generate a cable-inscribing jet, said jet generator being cardanically pivotably mounted to pivot in said inscribing module;
- a spacer unit configured to controllably change spacing between said jet generator and a cable being inscribed;
- and,
- a controller connected to control pivotal movement of said jet generator and direction of a jet exiting from said generator, said controller automatically corresponding the speed of moving cable being inscribed to a speed component, in cable axis direction, of the jet generated by said jet generator.
