The apparatus described measures the angle of rotation necessary to rotate a cable end from a first angular position, wherein the cores of the cable end have a certain position independent of their color, to a desired angular position, at a measuring station. The cable end is then brought into an aligning station where a rotational movement through the measured angle occurs. Subsequent to core color identification, the cable end is further turned, if required. There is provided for the scaning of the position of the cores a rotatable and axially slidably mounted scanning element which is coupled with an angle of rotation signal generator, which element contacts individual cores by means of scanning fingers or engages in the external intermediate spaces of the cores. During the scanning process the scanning element is disconnected from all drives.
Device for the alignment of desheathed ends of cables with several cores, comprising
Device according to claim 7, wherein a bearing (26) surrounding the carrying component (22) is axially slidable relative to the cable end (14), so that the scanning fingers (20) are slidable a certain distance along the cores (12), essentially until up against the end of the cable sheath (18).
