Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crimping method of the type specified in the preamble of the main claim.
  • the invention also relates to a crimping device for carrying out the method.
  • Such a method and such a device for carrying out the method are known from DE-PS 1 190 533.
  • the known device is used for cutting to length, stripping and one- or both-sided attachment of connectors to individual strands or wires.
  • Devices of this type have been developed so far that strand or wire lengths of 50 to 3000 mm can be processed and quantities of 1400 to 6000 pieces per hour can be produced.
  • the object of the invention is to increase the work output per unit of time of a method of the type mentioned at the beginning or of a device with simple means.
  • the crimping device has four robot arms 2, 3, 4 and 5.
  • the robot arms 4 and 2 are viewed in the working direction (arrow direction 1) - as is known per se - arranged one behind the other and are pivotable in a vertical axis 6 on a machine frame, not shown.
  • a device 8 for cutting and stripping In the space 7 between the robot arms 4 and 2 there is a device 8 for cutting and stripping, which is only indicated schematically.
  • Each robot arm 4, 2 is equipped with grippers 9, which are below the Robot arms are located and are arranged in the vicinity of the space 7 opposite each other; the grippers 9 can open and close, grasping and holding a line 10 and releasing it again.
  • the robot arms 4, 2 are designed and supported such that they can also slide back and forth in the direction of the arrow 11.
  • measuring rollers 12 and feed rollers 13 In the direction of arrow 1 in front of the grippers 9 of the robot arm 4, measuring rollers 12 and feed rollers 13 are arranged, which push the line 10 through the grippers of the robot arms
  • the robot arms 4, 2 each operate a stop device 14, 15, which, viewed in plan view, each sits laterally next to the corresponding robot arm on a machine frame, not shown.
  • the stop device 14 belongs to the robot arm 4 and the stop device 15 to the robot arm 2.
  • the robot arm 4 can be pivoted about the axis 6 in the double arrow direction 16 and the robot arm 2 in the direction of the double arrow 17, the arms - as known - with the cutting edge - and stripping device 8 can transport the manufactured cable end into the working space of the respective stop device.
  • the device described corresponds to the prior art and works as follows.
  • the line 10 is intermittently drawn off and cut to length from a cable drum, not shown, with a transport device, not shown, and pushed by the measuring rollers 12 and feed rollers 13 through the grippers 9 of the robot arms 4, 2.
  • the grippers are closed, the line is cut and stripped with the cutting device 8, whereby the robot arms 4, 2 slide back in the direction of arrow 11 and, if necessary, slide forward again.
  • the robot arms 4, 2 then pivot to the respective stop device 14, 15, the stripped end being placed in the working tool of the stop device and a connector being crimped.
  • the robot arms then swivel back again and the grippers 9 open, whereupon the finished crimped line (not shown) is removed from the robot arm 2 and the line 10 still located in the robot arm 4 is pushed through the robot arm 2 with the front crimped end, until the desired length is reached. Then the described process is repeated.
  • the robot arms move up and down in the direction of the arrow 18. However, the pivoting movement takes place in a horizontal plane.
  • the invention provides that the crimping device is equipped with two further robot arms, preferably identical robot arms 5 and 3.
  • the robot arms 5, 3 are expediently located exactly below the robot arms 4, 2 (FIG. 1), but their grippers 9 are directed upwards. Accordingly, the measuring rollers 12 and feed rollers 13 are located above the robot arm 5.
  • the robot arms 5, 3 can perform the same movements as the robot arms 4, 2 and act on the line 19. In the space 7 between the robot arms 5, 3 there is also a device 8 for cutting and stripping the line 19.
  • the robot arm 5 operates the stop device 14 and the robot arm 3 the stop direction 15.
  • the robot arms 5, 3 and the other associated devices of the lower level are not visible because they are structurally identical and are arranged directly below the devices of the upper level.
  • all four robot arms 4, 2 and 5, 3 are mounted such that they perform a movement on an imaginary horizontal positioning plane 20 when pivoted, the stop devices 14, 15 and their working tools being located in the positioning plane 20. Accordingly, the robot arms 4, 2 move downward by the absolute amount x and the robot arms 5, 3 move upward by the amount y when pivoting to the stop devices.
  • the amounts x and y are preferably the same.
  • the robot arms preferably slide on an inclined plane to the positioning plane 20 or are equipped with an incline drive so that the lifting or lowering by the amount x or y can be ensured when pivoting.
  • the robot arms 4, 2 - as known per se - additionally subsequently perform a vertical movement in the direction of the double arrow 18 for crimping, while the robot arms 5, 3 likewise move in the direction of the double arrow 18 for the same purpose .
  • the crimping method according to the invention provides that the intermittent processing of the lines 10 and 19 is carried out as follows, the comparison in the following table in each case meaning the same cycle time.
