ABSTRACT:
A connector harness assembly machine includes a wire transport assembly which further includes a conveyor mounted on a conveyor track and having a plurality of wire carriers mounted thereon in spaced relationship with respect to one another. Each wire carrier releasably holds a wire lead in a generally horizontal disposition. The wire carrier is pivotable so that the wire carrier can change positions to carry the wire lead in a substantially vertical disposition for insertion into a housing. The wire transport assembly is driven by an intermittent drive. The harness fabrication assembly has wire grippers for gripping and inserting a wire lead held in the wire carrier upwardly into a connector housing held at the insertion station. Associated with the insertion station is a test probe mechanism to check whether a terminated wire lead has been properly inserted into a connector housing and reject means for rejecting a connector harness assembly which has an improperly inserted terminated wire lead. A housing indexing assembly holds a connector at the insertion station and indexes the connector after each insertion. In addition, the housing indexing assembly transports housings from a housing load station spaced from the insertion station to said insertion station. The housings are automatically fed to the housing load station, one at a time, by means of a housing feed assembly.
