Claims18
A device for inserting elongate articles, such as cables or pipes, into clamps which are arranged inside a man-inaccessible tube, the device comprising:
- a frame capable of being supported on a tube inner wall movably in a longitudinal direction of the tube;
- a setting head arranged on the frame radially movably in relation to the longitudinal axis of the frame, the setting head having at least one receiving groove running at least approximately in the direction of the longitudinal axis and being open outward in a radial direction for receiving the articles;
- and
- a drive for moving the setting head in the radial direction, wherein the setting head has at least two parallel receiving grooves arranged next to one another, each for an article, and wherein a guide means for guiding the articles at least approximately parallel to one another in alignment with the receiving grooves is provided, the guide means being adjustable between a holding position for holding the articles and a release position for releasing the articles.

- a setting head arranged on the frame radially movably in relation to the longitudinal axis of the frame, the setting head having at least one receiving groove running at least approximately in the direction of the longitudinal axis and being open outward in a radial direction for receiving articles;
- and
- a drive for moving the setting head in the radial direction, wherein the setting head has at least two parallel receiving grooves arranged next to one another, each for an article, and wherein one of the receiving grooves is arranged further outward in the radial direction than the other receiving grooves and in a setting element capable of being forced back in the radial direction.
