Electric wire end treatment device and electric wire end treatment method

A method to treat electric wire ends, comprising:

• treating ends of an electric wire with an end treatment portion;
• transferring, with a transfer portion, the electric wire;
• discharging, with a discharge portion, the electric wire after the treating and transferring;
• recording, with a recording portion, electric wire processing information related to content processing of the electric wire at a subsequent process;
• reading out, with a reading portion, the electric wire processing information in communication with the recording portion;
• securing, with a securing means, the electric wire in a predetermined arrangement pattern which is provided in the discharge portion, and controlling, with a calculation portion, a securing treatment for securing the electric wire to the securing means in the discharge portion,
• wherein:
• the recording portion is secured to a bottom portion of the securing means,
• a plurality of engaging portions for engaging end portions of the electric wire aligned in a parallel direction are secured to the bottom portion and arranged in a parallel direction in the securing means,
• the bottom portion is formed of a material which does not inhibit communication of the recording portion,
• based on the electric wire processing information of the electric wire at a subsequent process, which is read out by the reading portion in communication with the recording portion, the calculation portion sets an alignment pattern for the electric wire in the parallel direction as the predetermined arrangement pattern, and
• the calculation portion controls the end treatment portion and the transfer portion and also controls the securing treatment for securing the electric wire in the predetermined arrangement pattern to the securing means in the discharge position.
