DEVICE FOR DEFORMING SHEATHINGS FOR ELECTRIC POWER LINES AND METHOD FOR DEFORMING SHEATHINGS FOR ELECTRIC POWER LINES USING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a device for deforming sheathings pertaining to electric power lines in order to connect individual lines with a highly variable diameters, specially individual LF and HF lines, to insulation displacement contacts (IDC) of a common IDC connector to provide optimum quality of said electrical connections. The deformation device has a receiving element (4) comprising at least one insert slit (5) into which an individual line can be pressed. The deformation device also comprises a press-in element (7) which can move towards the receiving element (4) by means of an actuating element (9) and has at least one stamping knife (8) which is directed towards an insert slit (5). Each insert slit (5) has sharp edged cutting zones on two opposite lying sides in a longitudinal direction. When the press-in element (7) is actuated, the sheathing of an individual line inserted into an insert slit (5) is cut off from the side by pressing the individual line into the cutting zone of the insert slit (5).
