    d. répétition des étapes b. et c. pour chaque autre section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223), jusqu'à l'atteinte de la position finale respective.
  10. Procédé selon la revendication 9, caractérisé en ce que les embouts de câbles (111, 121) d'au moins deux câbles (110, 120) sont disposés avant le passage d'une section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223) le long de leur direction longitudinale (L) en déport longitudinal l'un par rapport à l'autre d'un déport longitudinal (ΔL) correspondant au moins de la longueur de la section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223).
  11. Procédé selon la revendication 10, caractérisé en ce que le déplacement en déport longitudinal des embouts de câbles (111, 121) à travers la section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223), comprend :
    • un déplacement synchrone des embouts de câbles (111, 121) disposés en déport longitudinal avant le passage en direction de la position finale respective jusqu'à ce que l'embout de câble en avance (111) ait passé la section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223) et déplacement séparé consécutif de l'embout de câble en retard (121) à travers la section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223), sans autre déplacement de l'embout de câble en avance (111),
    ou
    • un déplacement synchrone des embouts de câbles (111, 121) disposés en déport longitudinal avant le passage en direction de la position finale respective jusqu'à ce que l'embout de câble en avance (111) et ensuite l'embout de câble en retard (121) aient passé la section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223).
  12. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 9 à 11, caractérisé en ce que le déport longitudinal (ΔL) entre les embouts de câbles (111, 121) d'au moins deux câbles (110, 120) est compensé après que l'embout de câble (121) en retard a passé la section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223), notamment par déplacement séparé de l'embout de câble en retard (121) sans autre déplacement de l'embout de câble en avance (111).
  13. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 9 à 11, caractérisé en ce que lors du déplacement d'un embout de câble (111, 121) dans et/ou à travers une section critique (211, 212, 213 ; 221, 222, 223), une force de traction et/ou de pression agissant sur l'embout de câble (111, 121) est mesurée.
  14. Procédé selon la revendication 13, caractérisé en ce qu'en cas de dépassement d'une valeur prédéfinie par la force de traction et/ou de pression mesurée, le déplacement est arrêté ou répété, notamment par un retrait et un déplacement de l'embout de câble correspondant (111, 121) et/ou en exécutant un mouvement de secousse de l'embout de câble (111, 121) longitudinalement et/ou transversalement à la direction longitudinale de l'embout de câble (111, 121) .
