US 2022/0255279 A1 · METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING AN ELECTRIC CABLE

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electric cable (2), according to which the cable (2) is successively processed in processing modules (41, 43) that are independent from one another. According to the invention, at least one sheath clamp (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4), which is independent from the plug connectors (22) that are to be mounted on the cable (2) during manufacturing, is attached to a cable sheath (9) of the cable (2) in a non-positive fit at a defined axial position along the longitudinal axis (L) of the cable (2). Alternatively or in addition, the cable (2) is attached to a cable carrier (4), wherein the cable carrier (4) comprises at least one stop element (44) which is arranged at a defined axial position along the longitudinal axis (L) of the cable (2).

Dependent claims

A method for manufacturing an electric cable comprising the steps:

providing an electric cable that defines a longitudinal axis, and which has a front free end, and which has a cable sheath;
providing one or more plug-in connector components for fitting to the cable sheath of the electric cable;
providing plural processing modules for processing of the electric cable, and wherein each of the plural processing modules is mutually independent from others of the plural processing modules, and wherein each of the plural mutually independent processing modules processes the electric cable in succession;
providing at least one sheath clamp which is independent of a plug-in connector to be fitted on the cable sheath of the electric cable;
fastening the at least one sheath clamp to the cable sheath of the electric cable in a non-positively locking fashion and at a defined axial position along the longitudinal axis (L) of the electric cable;
and wherein
the at least one sheath clamp is axially adjacent to the one or more plug-in connector components on the cable sheath to block a displacement path of the one or more plug-in connector components on the cable sheath in a positively locking fashion.
