Wire harness bundling device

Abstract

Provided is a wire harness binding apparatus that is capable of automating and speeding up the work of binding a plurality of wires with a binding material by successively binding the wires with the binding material, and that forms a wire harness capable of suppressing a decrease in the binding force that binds the wires. The apparatus includes a wire rod supply unit for supplying a wire rod near an object to be bound, and a ring shape forming unit for forming a ring-shaped part by curving a portion of the wire rod supplied from the wire rod supply unit. The ring shape forming unit successively forms a plurality of ring-shaped parts with the wire rod supplied from the wire rod supply unit, arranges the plurality of ring-shaped parts along the longitudinal direction of the object to be bound, and forms a binding material by connecting adjacent ring-shaped parts along the longitudinal direction of the object to be bound.
