Abstract:
A method for providing mass-produced and preformed flexible conductor pieces with different lengths, the method which comprises:producing individual preformed conductor pieces in required lengths; providing connecting components, each having a first receiving duct and a second receiving duct; introducing and retaining one end of one of the preformed conductor pieces in the first receiving duct of a connecting component; introducing and retaining one end of a further one of the preformed conductor pieces in the second receiving duct of the connecting component, the second receiving duct of the connecting component opening on a side of the connecting component opposite to an opening of the first receiving duct of the connecting component; introducing and retaining a further end of the further one of the preformed conductor pieces in a receiving duct of a further connecting component for forming a connected conductor; winding the connected conductor onto a drum; repeating the above steps to form an endless roll of connected conductor pieces, wound on the drum; and supplying the endless roll to a location for unwinding and disconnecting the connected conductor pieces for further processing.
