ABSTRACT:
A system for processing wire segments includes a wire segment transport subsystem and at least one automated termination station (2, 102). The station (2, 102) includes a robot (4, 104) with a work envelope (105) in which a plurality of wire segment end processing devices are positioned. A work depot (32, 132) is positioned within the envelope (105) and is dimensioned to receive a batch of wire segments (100) loaded in a carrier (72, 172). The depot (32, 132) is independent of the transport subsystem but accessible thereto via an input station (24, 124) and an output station (26, 126) in which carriers (72, 172) may be queued. The robot (4, 104) processes the ends of the segments (100) loaded in the carrier (72, 172), one at a time.
