Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing the ends of electric cables, which comprises a section for injection molding on at least one end, a first section comprising means for applying electrical connection elements to one end of the cable and, optionally, a second section for applying further electrical connection elements to the remaining end of the cable, and means for testing the cable prior to its output from the apparatus, in which retaining means for both ends of the cables in all the manufacturing sections and means for moving said ends from the retaining means of one section to the retaining means of the next section are also present. The molding section comprises a plurality of molds, with an injector for each mold, mounted on platform with which they can be rotated along a circumference.
Claims12
An apparatus for manufacturing the ends of electric cables, comprising:
- a moulding section for injection moulding on at least one of said ends, a first section configured to apply at least one electrical connection element to said at least one end of the cable;
- a testing apparatus configured to test said cable prior to output of said cable from the apparatus;
- at least one gripper configured to retain both ends of the cable in all of said manufacturing sections and a movement member configured to move said ends from the at least one gripper of one section to the at least one gripper of the next section;
- and
- wherein said moulding section comprises a plurality of moulds and an injector for each mould of said plurality of moulds and said corresponding injectors being mounted on a platform with which they are rotatable.
