Abstract
A device for the production of cable sensors that each have at least one sensor and a cable trimmed to a variably pre-definable length includes at least two processing units, and at least one conveying unit. The processing units are configured to load and cut a cable blank, and are further configured to sequentially convey the cable blank along a pre-defined motion track. At least one deflection unit is positioned between adjacent processing units. Each deflection unit includes at least one deflection element that is in contact with or is configured to contact the cable blank. A displacement unit is assigned to and is configured to modify a position of the deflection element in order to influence a length of the motion track of the cable blank so as to obtain variable lengths of cable.
