A cable processing device (20) for processing a cable (15), which comprises a first positioning mechanism (30) comprising a first positioning drive (35) for vertically positioning a tool mounting (22) relative to the cable conveying direction (F) of a cable conveying mechanism (100), and a control mechanism (50), which is connected to the first positioning drive (35) for exchanging first control data. A second positioning mechanism (40), comprising a second positioning drive (45) for at least vertically positioning a first cable stop (25) relative to the cable conveying direction (F) of the cable conveying mechanism (100), is also present. The second positioning drive (45) is connected to the control mechanism (50) for exchanging second control data. The invention also relates to computer-implemented methods, a computer program product, as well as a computer readable storage medium.
