Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0496049A1] With this improvement to the device for feeding a cable into an automatic cable processor, it is possible to move normal cables and cables of reduced wall thickness (18) at high speeds through the drive surfaces (3.1,8.1) of two drive belts (3,8), applied against each other, of two belt drives (1,2). By the separation of a drive roller (12) driven synchronously with the belt drives (1,2) from the measurement drive roller (21) of the cable length measurement device (22), it is made possible to vary the diameter and hence the peripheral speed of this drive roller (12). Thus a tension can be constantly applied to the cable (18) between the belt drives (1,2) and the drive roller (12) corresponding to the running direction of the cable (18), preventing piling up of the cable in this region and a possible lateral emergence of the cable from the belt drives (1,2), and ensuring an accurate length measurement for the cable sections. <IMAGE>
