ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for automatically positioning and forming a drain wire of a cable and then positioning the formed drain wire for automatic termination to a connector. Each cable is in turn rotated until a sensing whisker senses that the drain wire is in a known position. The drain wire is then formed by forming tooling and the cable is again rotated to position the formed drain wire in a desired angular position. A clamping mechanism maintains pressure on all of the cables thereby inhibiting rotation thereof except for the cable that is being processed.
