ABSTRACT:
A tubing attachment apparatus is provided which automatically severs a preselected tubing segment from a continuously fed length of tubing, moves the tubing segment toward an operative position, slits the tubing to form an axial slit along its length, spreads the opposing edges of the axial slit and pushes the tubing segment to cause it to move over a wire portion of a component. The tubing segments are moved, along a first path defined by a guide rod, through the action of a carriage that is reciprocally movable relative to a support structure. A gripper and a pusher attached to the carriage move sequentially seared tubing segments along the first path and through the slitter and spreader to dispose the tubing segments over wires of components.
