Apparatus and method for fitting wires with seals or other elastic wire elements

摘要

A fitting apparatus for fitting a wire with an elastic wire element has a needle, which has a receptacle. An external diameter at a first end of the needle is smaller than at a second end. Centering jaws are configured to fix the needle and to form in a closed state an orifice, which serves as access to the receptacle of the needle. To push the elastic wire element on, a pusher-on is used. A gripping element holds the needle in an area of the first end. Drives enable relative movements.

1. A fitting apparatus for fitting a wire with an elastic wire element, wherein the fitting apparatus comprises a body to push-on the elastic wire element and is configured to transfer the elastic wire element from the body for pushing onto the wire, the fitting apparatus comprising:
a needle configured as a body for pushing-on, wherein the needle has an external diameter, which at a first end is smaller than at a second end, and in an area of the second end a receptacle configured to coaxially accommodate an end of the wire; centering jaws configured to fix the needle in the area of its second end, wherein the centering jaws in a closed state fix the needle and form an orifice as an access to the receptacle of the needle and the centering jaws in an open state release the needle; a pusher-on configured to push the elastic wire element onto the needle from the first end of the needle in a direction of the second end, and a gripping element configured to hold the needle in an area of the first end.
