Abstract

Aligning machines for individual line ends (2) of cable (3) provide enhanced stress-free and precise alignment of line ends (2) of the cable (3) prior to the further processing thereof. Cable (3) is fixed in a clamp (5) opposite a rotor (4) provided with recesses (6, 7) for the exposed line ends (2). This rotor (4) is provided with a corresponding number of preferably parallel elongate blind holes (7) that connect to funnel-shaped guides (6) for the line ends (2). The rotor (4) and the clamp (5) for the cable (3) are movably mounted relative to one another.
