ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for fabricating a multi-wire harness assembly are disclosed. The harness consists of wires which are first terminated en masse on one level, then loaded en masse into a connector block on a conveyor at a lower level. Wires are then fed to diverse lengths, cut and stripped, and the trailing ends are transported on a conveyorized clamp which parallels the connector block clamp. The apparatus utilizes a shuttle having telescoping wire guide tubes which are directed by a pivotable track first to an operating zone for termination. The shuttle has a clamping mechanism so that the terminated leads are drawn into the expanding tubes as the shuttle retreats. The track then pivots to the level of the connector, the shuttle moves against the connector block to load the terminated leads, and the clamp is released as the shuttle retreats from the block over the wires. A comb-like deflector with arcuate channels moves onto the wires and a remote axial wire feeder pays out the wire through the shuttle to loops of various lengths between the loaded connector block and the deflector.
