The invention relates to a method for processing an electrical cable (2), according to which a braided cable shield (6) of the cable (2), which is exposed along a longitudinal axis (L) of the cable (2) from a cable end (5) which is to be processed to a first stripping position (P.sub.A1), is, by means of brushing with at least one drivable brush (10), folded back towards a cable end facing away from the cable end (5) to be processed. According to the invention, a defined fold-back position (P.sub.U) for the braided cable shield (6) is determined along the longitudinal axis (L) of the cable (2). Before and/or during brushing, a front end of the forming sleeve (12), said front end facing the cable end (5) to be processed, is placed onto the cable (2) and positioned at the fold-back position (P.sub.U) in order to fold back the braided cable shield (6) onto the forming sleeve (12) starting from the fold-back position (P.sub.U). According to the invention, the fold-back position (P.sub.U) is determined in such a way that the fold-back position (P.sub.U) deviates from the first stripping position (P.sub.A1) and/or that the forming sleeve (12) has an end-face stop surface (20) for the braided cable shield (6).

In general, the application of the present invention regards the electrical wiring of buildings. In particular, the solution identified concerns the positioning and installation of boxes suitable for housing electrical sockets, or control systems, or various sensors on the walls of the rooms, when these internal walls are made, or covered, with panels made of plasterboard or, alternatively, with other similar materials.

The present invention indicates a box for extracting electrical contacts from an electric line made by means of a “ribbon cable” laid under a surface finishing panel of a wall or ceiling. This box is easy to install, and makes an electrical power interface available on this wall, so that said power interface is accessible to a load.

A shield foil removing device includes an opening and closing chuck configured to accommodate two wire cores surrounded by a shield foil in a space having a rectangular cross section orthogonal to an electric wire longitudinal direction, which is formed by closing, in such a direction that a longitudinal direction of the rectangular space and an arrangement direction of the two wire cores in a cross section coincide with each other, compresses the shield foil in a direction orthogonal to an arrangement direction of the two wire cores by reducing the rectangular space by a closing operation, and brings the shield foil into close contact with outer peripheral surfaces of the two wire cores to secure a gap continuous in a longitudinal direction of the shielded electric wire between both of outer peripheral curved surfaces adjacent to each other of the two wire cores and the shield foil.

A device for stripping cable has a support roller arrangement and a work wheel arrangement. The support roller arrangement is on a rotation base rotatable about an axis of rotation and the work wheel arrangement is on a work wheel guide. The rotation base and the work wheel guide are connected via at least one guide and the work wheel guide is displaceable relative to the rotation base in a guide direction running transversely to the axis of rotation. The support roller arrangement has at least two support rollers each mounted on the rotation base so as to be rotatable about a support roller axis and the work wheel arrangement has a rolling wheel mounted on the work wheel guide so as to be rotatable about a rolling wheel axis. A clamping region is formed around the axis of rotation and between the support rollers and the rolling wheel.

An object of the invention is to increase productivity of a coil.

A coil forming device according to the present invention includes: a first bending unit 200A that performs a compression bending process with respect to a linear conductor; and a second bending unit 200B that performs a draw bending process with respect to the linear conductor, wherein the first bending unit 200A and the second bending unit 200B are integrated in one device, and wherein the first bending unit 200A and the second bending unit 200B are switched to access one linear conductor so as to perform the compression bending process and the draw bending process onto the one linear conductor.

An apparatus for de-braiding a braided shield of a wire. The apparatus comprises a brush assembly having a first bristle wheel mounted on a first axis and a second bristle wheel mounted on a second axis wherein the first bristle wheel and the second bristle wheel are positioned with respect to one another to have their respective bristles brush against a braided shield of a wire placed between the first and second bristle wheels; a wheel drive motor; a first flexible drive shaft connecting the wheel drive motor to the first axis to rotate the first bristle wheel; a second flexible drive shaft connecting the first axis to the second axis to rotate the second bristle wheel; and a drive assembly, wherein the drive assembly moves the brush assembly both axially and rotationally with respect to a wire placed between the first bristle wheel and the second bristle wheel.

A shield trim is performed by tearing bunched shield strands circumferentially along a circular edge. The apparatus includes a pair of aligned metal plates that have been drilled through multiple times such that holes of varying diameters pass through both plates. A cable gripper on the entry side of the device clamps the cable in place. A shield gripper on the rear side of the device closes over the exposed shielding of the cable, and the two plates are pushed together. The shield gripper travels with the rear plate, pushing the shield over the wires and causing the shield to bunch between the two plates. With the two plates pushed together, both grippers open and the cable is pulled free from the device. This pull forces a stress concentration which tears the shield strands across the sharp edge of the hole, producing a uniformly trimmed shield.

A device for flaring an end section of a braided tubular structure of an electrical conductor defines a reception volume having a peripheral boundary for receiving the end section of the braided tubular structure. The device further includes one or more rotatable rollers of which each has at least one peripheral roller surface facing the peripheral boundary of the reception volume. The one or more rollers are adapted to move relative to the reception volume in a peripheral direction about the reception volume for flaring the end section.

A wire coating removal device includes: a wire feed path; a pair of first rotary tools that remove a coating of the wire at a first position on the wire feed path; a first rotary drive mechanism that rotationally drives the pair of first rotary tools; a pair of second rotary tools that remove the coating of the wire at a second position; a second rotary drive mechanism that rotationally drives the pair of second rotary tools; a first tool distance changing mechanism that makes the pair of first rotary tools approach or separates from each other; and a second tool distance changing mechanism that makes the pair of second rotary tools approach or separates from each other, wherein the pair of first rotary tools remove a part of the coating of the wire, and the pair of second rotary tools then remove a remainder of the coating.

A system for servicing cable includes a field-end assembly and a live-end assembly, each mounted on a support structure having at least one drive mechanism operable to cause relative linear movement between the field-end assembly and the live-end assembly. A drilling-and-shorting assembly can create a short circuit in a field-end of the cable, and a continuity tester can test the integrity of the short-circuit. The field end of the cable can then be ejected from the system, and an end-cap-cradle assembly can position an end cap on a live end of an electrical cable and test its installation.
