Abstract
Devices for guiding and conveying wire- or strand-shaped products, for example a cable (K) in a cable processing system, such as a cable stripping system. Provided here is at least one pair of transport devices (1a, 1b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b). At least one of the small secondary rollers (4a, 4b, 36) may be adjusted between at least one position in the conveying direction before the point of contact of the respective accompanying primary roller (1a, 1b, 30) with the product (K) and at least one second position in the conveying direction behind the point of contact of the primary roller (1a, 1b, 30) with the product (K).
Claims20
A cable processing apparatus comprising:
- a first drive roller assembly, said first drive roller assembly including a primary roller mounted to controllably rotate about a first axis to drive cable;
- said first drive roller assembly including a secondary roller mounted to rotate about a second axis;
- an adjustable mount adjustably mounting, within said first drive roller assembly, said secondary roller relative to said primary roller;
- a second drive roller assembly situated opposite to said primary roller, said primary roller and said second drive roller assembly accommodating a cable transport path therebetween;
- said adjustable mount having a first selectable position situating said secondary roller before said primary roller and along said cable transport path, and said adjustable mount having a second selectable position situating said secondary roller after said primary roller and along said cable transport path.
A cable processing apparatus comprising:
- a first drive roller assembly, said first drive roller assembly including a first primary roller mounted to controllably rotate about a respective first axis to drive cable;
- said first drive roller assembly including a first secondary roller mounted to rotate about a respective second axis;
- a first adjustable mount adjustably mounting, within said first drive roller assembly, said first secondary roller relative to said first primary roller;
- a second drive roller assembly, said second drive roller assembly including a second primary roller mounted to controllably rotate within said second drive roller assembly;
- a second secondary roller mounted to rotate within said second drive roller assembly;
- a second adjustable mount adjustably mounting, within said second drive roller assembly, said second secondary roller relative to said second primary roller;
- said second primary roller being situated opposite to said first primary roller, said first and second primary rollers accommodating a cable transport path therebetween;
- said first adjustable mount having a respective first selectable position situating said first secondary roller before said first primary roller and along said cable transport path, and said first adjustable mount having a respective second selectable position situating said first secondary roller after said first primary roller and along said cable transport path;
- said first adjustable mount having a respective third selectable position that removes said first secondary roller from engagement in said cable transport path;
- said second adjustable mount having a respective first selectable position situating said second secondary roller before said second primary roller and along said cable transport path, and said second adjustable mount having a respective second selectable position situating said second secondary roller after said second primary roller and along said cable transport path;
- and,
- said second adjustable mount having a respective third selectable position that removes said second secondary roller from engagement in said cable transport path.
