Abstract

A system for the automated production of a cable set, which has a branched structure of a plurality of individual line elements. In a modular set-up in the first part, a plurality of first processing stations, and in the second part, a plurality of second processing stations are arranged. In the first part, there is an automatic preparation of the individual line elements, which are then collected in a buffer station at the end of the first part. In the second part, the prepared individual line elements are assembled into the cable set. The line elements are plugged into connector casings in a connector station and transferred to second transporters, and via which the branched structure of the cable set is then formed by moving along second tracks. In this spread-out branched structure, a fixing of the line elements to one another takes place in a fixing station.
