Abstract
A wire end processing apparatus comprises a first moving means operable to first move a first wire clamp means away from a cutter means along the path of travel of an insulated wire and then to move the first wire clamp means toward the cutter means obliquely relative to the path of travel of the wire to thereby bring the leading end to the insulated wire into a first terminal fastening means; a second moving means operable to first move a second wire clamp means away from the cutter means and then to move the second clamp means toward the cutter means obliquely relative to the path of travel of the wire to thereby bring the trailing end of the wire length into a second terminal fastening means.
Claims7
A wire end processing apparatus which comprises:
- (a) a wire feed means for advancing an insulated wire a predetermined length;
- (b) a cutter means operable to cut the insulated wire to a predetermined length;
- (c) a first clamp means arranged on the wire inlet side of said cutter means and operable to clamp the wire;
- (d) a second clamp means arranged on the wire outlet side of said cutter means and operable to clamp the wire;
- (e) a first fastening means for fastening a terminal to the leading end of the wire;
- (f) a second fastening means for fastening a terminal to the trailing end of the wire length;
- (g) a first moving means operable to first move said first clamp means away from said cutter means along the path of travel of the wire and then to move said first clamp means toward said cutter means obliquely relative to the path of travel of the wire to thereby bring the leading end of the insulated wire into said first fastening means;
- and
- (h) a second moving means operable to first move said second clamp means away from said cutter means along the path of travel of the wire and then to move said second clamp means toward said cutter means obliquely relative to the path of travel of the wire to thereby bring the trailing end of the wire length into said second fastening means.
