<p>A machine for lacing cable systems comprises a unit (10) for cutting, stripping the ends of and straightening electrical cables in predetermined straight lengths, and a conveyor (11) for transferring said lengths of cables to a lacing unit (12). The lacing unit (12) comprises a plurality of carriers (14) mounted at relative distances along a mutual rotatable shaft (13), and having radially disposed notches (15) arranged in lines right in front of each other, at equal pitch along the circumference. A feeder (18, 19) is arranged in parallel with the axis of said shaft for transport of the cable lengths arriving one at a time from the transporter (11), into one line of notches (15). When all cable lengths belonging to a cable system are present in the line of notches, the shaft (13) is rotated one step from the feeder to a cable lacing means (16) which is known in the field and can be moved along the shaft, and is adapted to lace together the cable lengths at suitable places between the carriers (14). When the lacing is completed, the shaft (13) is turned another step and the completed cable system may leave the machine.</p> |
