Abstract
A cable processing machine includes a swivel arm on the cable supply side, a magazine for a plurality of cable guide units and a fixing device for a cable guide unit, wherein the fixing device is arranged on the swivel arm, can be actuated automatically and serves for selectively receiving a cable guide unit from the magazine in accordance with a guide unit selection signal. Upon the reception of the guide unit selection signal, the cable processing machine swivels the swivel arm into a corresponding position relative to the magazine and receives the selected cable guide unit from the magazine by using the fixing device.
