A cable end holding device for holding a cable end of a cable for a crimp process includes a cable holding element for holding the cable end and a vertical position alteration device having two lever elements for altering the vertical position of the cable holding element in a manner decoupled from a movement of a stamp during the crimp process. The lever elements extend mutually parallel along a longitudinal direction of the lever elements and are arranged mutually offset in height and in a width direction perpendicular to the vertical and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The lever elements each are rotatably mounted about a first axis of rotation extending along the width direction, the two first axes of rotation extending mutually parallel.

A braid processing device trims an end portion of an exposed braid of a braid-shielded cable including a cable center portion (e.g., two insulated wires), a braid that covers an outer circumferential surface of the cable center portion, and a sheath that covers an outer circumferential surface of the braid, the exposed braid being exposed from the sheath. The braid processing device includes a braid raising mechanism that raises the exposed braid from the cable center portion toward an outer circumferential side, and a shearing mechanism. The shearing mechanism includes an outer blade that has an annular outer cutting edge, an inner blade that has an annular inner cutting edge, the annular outer cutting edge and the annular inner cutting edge being capable of shearing the exposed braid therebetween, and a blade driving portion that relatively moves the inner blade toward the annular outer cutting edge.

A cut-away cutting tool has two slit forming blade portions and a peeling blade portion interposed between the two slit forming blade portions. The two slit forming blade portions respectively form slits on an insulating coating of a flat conductor wire. On the other hand, the peeling blade portion peels off a portion of the insulating coating between the slits formed by the two slit forming blade portions.

A cable clamping device for widening a braided shield of a cable includes at least three clamping bodies that are arranged to form an equilateral polygonal passage for clamping the cable therein. The clamping bodies are slidable against each other to change the opening size of the passage.

A coating removal tool includes a base part and a cover part, to remove a coating of an optical fiber by overlapping the cover part and the base part. The base part and the cover part are made of resin, and include at least a pair of coating removal blades including a base front blade portion provided on the base part and a cover front blade portion provided on the cover part. The base part includes a V-groove which sandwiches the optical fiber in either one or both of a front and rear of the optical fiber in the longitudinal direction and the cover part includes a V-groove which sandwiches the optical fiber and is provided on a side where the V-groove exists in the front and rear of the longitudinal direction in a state where the cover part and the base part are overlapped.

A light string controlling circuit for single node and a method thereof are provided. The light string controlling circuit for single node includes a plurality of light-emitting elements, a power source element, a master controller and a plurality of single-node controllers. The master controller outputs a power supplying request to the power source element to instruct the power source element to supply power to the plurality of light-emitting elements sequentially. The plurality of single-node controllers are connected to the plurality of light-emitting assemblies respectively, and each of the single-node controllers outputs an emission control signal to control the luminous state of the corresponding light-emitting assemblies.

A stripping system that includes a securement device including a receiver platform and an engagement platform sized to receive at least a portion of a large diameter cable having an outer jacket defining a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. The engagement platform translates relative to the receiver platform to secure the cable to the securement device. The system includes a cutting device including a receiver platform that includes a first cutting apparatus and an engagement platform that includes a second cutting apparatus. The receiver platform is sized to receive at least a portion of the cable. The engagement platform translates relative to the receiver platform to move the second cutting apparatus toward the first cutting apparatus to define a cutting interface that is sized to partially sever the outer jacket such that at least a portion of the 0.5 mm thickness of the outer jacket remains partially intact.

A light set circuit with time control function includes a power supply module, a plurality of light emitting modules and a time control module. A first wire receives a positive voltage and a second wire receives a negative voltage, or the first wire receives a negative voltage and the second wire receives a positive voltage, from the power supply module. A first positive pin of a first light emitting module and a second positive pin of a second light emitting module are connected to the second wire, and a first negative pin of the first light emitting module and a second positive pin of the second light emitting module are connected to the second wire. The time control module counts time and controls light emitting states of the light emitting modules.

A light string, an automatic assembly apparatus and an automatic assembly method thereof are provided. The method includes steps of: arranging lamp housings in a lamp housing carrier by using an assembly machine; actuating a holder to move horizontally by using the assembly machine to align light-emitting elements with accommodating spaces of the lamp housings, respectively; actuating the holder to move vertically toward the lamp housing carrier by using the assembly machine to move the light-emitting elements into the accommodating spaces to be bonded to the lamp housings, respectively; removing a first wire and a second wire together with the light-emitting elements from the holder by the assembly machine; passing the first wire and the second wire through lamp housing through holes of the lamp housings by using the assembly machine; and taking out the light string from the lamp housing carrier by using the assembly machine.

A method for manufacturing a light strip at least includes: winding a plurality of wires, removing an insulation layer, and attaching and fixing LED chips. The step of winding the wires includes providing a winding rack having a wire fixing portion at both ends of the winding rack, forming the winding rack with a hollow portion along a longitudinal direction, and winding the wires around the winding rack, wherein each of the wires has an insulation layer, and the wires are repeatedly wound across the hollow portion. The step of removing the insulation layer includes removing a part of the insulation layer from each of the wires to expose a core wire therein. The step of attaching and fixing the LED chips is attaching and fixing the LED chips on the core wires of the wires. Accordingly, the LED chips are firmly and electrically connected to the wires.
