Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing cable assemblies includes one or more wire sources, multiple grippers, a circuit-board handler and a joining tool. The wire sources are configured to supply a continuous set of wires. The grippers are configured to grip the wires and successively draw predefined lengths of the wires from the wire sources. The circuit-board handler is configured to place a respective circuit board against each predefined length of the wires held by the grippers. The joining tool is configured to connect each circuit board to an end of the corresponding predefined length of wires.
