ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for fabricating cable harness assemblies of the type wherein a plurality of mating pairs of electrical connector parts are terminated to a continous flat cable segment. Termination includes compressing a predetermined cable portion between a pair of connector parts, one of which has a plurality of insulation displacing terminals positioned therein. The connector parts are transported between loading stations and a termination station, by connector holders mounted on a pair of opposed rotatable indexing turrets. At least one of the connector holders is advanced inwardly toward the termination station, so as to bring the two connector parts together in compression, after a cable segment is located therebetween.
Thereafter, the cable is advanced to bring another predetermined portion to the termination station, while the turrets are indexed to present a second pair of opposed mating parts to the termination station. Simultaneously therewith fresh connector parts are loaded into empty connector holder locations. Upon completion of a harness assembly, the turrets are rotated so as to present a pair of opposed cable cutting fixtures at the termination station, and upon a similar compression stroke, the cable harness is cut free for transport to a remote location.
