ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for making an electrical harness. The harness generally includes at least one connector having a housing with insulation displacement type contacts loaded therein. Each contact is connected to an insulation clad wire, said wires being of different lengths with different segments of insulation removed from the wire ends opposite the connector. The apparatus performs the functions of positioning a connector on a first station, holding the plurality of wires at a second station remote from the first station, moving the connector to the second station so that each contact is in alignment with each held wire, moving the connector toward the held wire so that each wire is simultaneously displaced into its corresponding contact, moving the connector back to the first station and simultaneously drawing a length of wire, forming loops of differing magnitudes in the wires, holding each wire at the second station at the end of each desired length, cutting the insulation of a predetermined segment on each end of each desired length at the second station, cutting all the wires held at the second station, imparting an axial force upon the cut lengths of wire to pull the wire lengths from the second station and strip the cut insulation segment from each end thereof, and ejecting the electrical harness from the first station.
