In September 2026 TE Connectivity patented cable-processing equipment for manufacturing and assembling cables, including connectors and harnesses.
Abstract
A cable processing system includes a cable processing tool rotatable about a first axis, a first rotary actuator and a rotating assembly operatively connected to the first rotary actuator. The rotating assembly includes a planetary gearset and simultaneously rotates the cable processing tool about the first axis and a second axis, distinct from the first axis, in response to rotation of the first rotary actuator.
