Abstract
An electric wire processing system includes a plurality of processing devices arranged in order of steps and a linear conveyor module configured to convey an electric wire to be processed. The linear conveyor module includes a first slider pair including two sliders configured to move back and forth in a first section and hold both ends of one electric wire, and a second slider pair including two sliders configured to move back and forth in a second section and hold the both ends of the one electric wire, and ranges of the first section and the second section are set based on a processing time in each section.
Claims3
An electric wire processing system comprising:
- a plurality of processing devices arranged in a row in order of steps of end processing of an electric wire;
- and
- a linear conveyor module in which a plurality of sliders are configured to move on one guide rail disposed along the plurality of processing devices to convey an electric wire to be processed, wherein
- the linear conveyor module includes
- a first slider pair including two sliders that move back and forth in a first section and hold both ends of one electric wire, and
- a second slider pair including two sliders that move back and forth in a second section adjacently after the first section and hold the both ends of the one electric wire, and
- ranges of the first section and the second section are set based on a processing time of the processing device in each section.
An electric wire manufacturing method using an electric wire processing system,
- the electric wire processing system including
- a plurality of processing devices arranged in a row in order of steps of end processing of an electric wire, and
- a linear conveyor module in which a plurality of sliders are configured to move on one guide rail disposed along the plurality of processing devices to convey an electric wire to be processed,
- the linear conveyor module including
- a first slider pair including two sliders that move back and forth in a first section and hold both ends of one electric wire, and
- a second slider pair including two sliders that move back and forth in a second section adjacently after the first section and hold the both ends of the one electric wire, and
- ranges of the first section and the second section are set based on a processing time of the processing device in each section,
- the method comprising:
- holding the both ends of the electric wire by the first slider pair, and conveying the both ends to the processing device in the first section;
- processing the both ends by the processing device in the first section;
- holding the processed both ends of the electric wire by the second slider pair, and conveying the processed both ends to the processing device in the second section;
- and
- processing the both ends by the processing device in the second section.
