Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8912336A1] An apparatus for preparing an end of a flat electrical cable for aligning, cutting and bending electrical conductors of the cable for electrical connection to electrical contacts of an electrical connector comprises a clamp (10) including a movable clamp section (12) into which cable (5) having exposed conductors (1) between a jacket (2) and a jacket front end (2a) is clamped; a clamp-positioning device (100) for positioning the clamp section (12) along a base (11) if the front conductor (1c) is out of alignment with a sensing member (102); and a conductor-aligning, cutting and bending device (200) for aligning the conductors (1) by comb members (250) if the leading conductors (1c, 1d) of units of conductors (1) are out of alignment with a sensing device (237, 238), a cutting and bending device (270) for cutting the conductors (1) and bending certain conductors (1b) into a plane parallel with a plane of other conductors (1a).
