Abstract
A wire processing unit has a crimp head moved in a “z” direction by an eccentric drive and a crimping tool arranged on the crimp head moves with it. The crimp head also moves a pin connected to a lowering unit that has a C-shaped bracket on which the gripper unit is arranged. When a crimping punch moves, the gripper unit is moved with it, and the wire-end held by a gripper pair is inserted into an upwardly-open conductor crimp and an insulation crimp respectively. A cutting head of a cutting unit cuts off the leading wire-end, removes the insulation, and separates contacts with defective crimp fastening from the wire-end.
Claims8
A device for processing a wire including components for holding and cutting the wire, comprising:
- a first housing;
- a second housing mounted on said first housing for movement in a “y” direction relative to said first housing;
- a first drive mounted on said first housing for moving said second housing in the “y” direction;
- a slide block mounted on said second housing for moving in an “x” direction relative to said first housing and said second housing;
- a second drive mounted on said second housing for moving said slide block in the “x” direction;
- a cutting head with only a single cutter pair mounted on said slide block;
- and
- a third drive mounted on said slide block for actuating said single cutter pair to process the wire by cutting off a leading wire-end, removing insulation, and cutting off from the wire-end a crimp contact with defective crimp connections.
A device for processing a wire including components for holding and cutting the wire, comprising:
- a cutting head with only a single cutter pair for processing the wire;
- a first drive for moving said cutting head in a “y” direction;
- a second drive for moving said cutting head in an “x” direction;
- a third drive for actuating said cutter pair whereby said first drive, said second drive, said third drive and said cutter pair cooperate for cutting off a leading wire-end, removing, insulation, and cutting off from the wire-end a crimp contact with detective crimp connections;
- and
- a container arranged on said cutting head for collecting remnants of insulation, remnants of wire, and cut-off crimp contacts, said container being movable with said cutting head, and said cutting head being movable relative to said container.
