Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0041815A1] Apparatus for, and a method of, manufacturing electrical harness assemblies. Wires (22) are advanced through a wire insertion zone (222), slotted plate electrical connectors (4 and 6) are fed by a slide (152) into the zone (222) so that each wire (22) is aligned with a slotted plate terminal of each of the connectors (4 and 6), a wire insertion ram (74) is lowered to insert the wires (22) into the terminals and to cut out scrap parts of the wires (22) between the connectors (4 and 6), the ram (74) is raised, and a complete harness comprising a connector (4 min ) applied during the previous cycle of the apparatus, and the connector (6) is removed from the apparatus and the wires (22) are advanced again. For the reduction of manual operations, the wires (22) are advanced from wire spools by a wire advancing mechanism, through wire positioning means (90, 94) from which the wires (22) are driven by the ram (74) into the terminals of the connectors (4 and 6).
