ABSTRACT:
A terminal insertion guiding apparatus includes an optical fiber sensor adapted to transmit light through a terminal cavity of the housing of a connector, thereby indicating to the operator a cavity into which a wire-crimped terminal is to be inserted. The apparatus is provided with a drive mechanism which drives the optical fiber to move back-and-forth in directions X and Y so as to position the optical fiber sensor correctly below a specified cavity. The drive mechanism is controlled by signals from a controller, which signals are indicative of positions of the optical fiber sensor. A pair of first guide rails extend in parallel in direction Y. A slider carries the optical fiber thereon and moves along the first guide rails. The slider is driven by a first belt arrayed between two pulleys to move along the first guide rails. A block carries the first guide rails, slider, first belt and pulleys thereon, and is movably supported on a spline shaft extending transversely of the first guide rails and a second guide rail which is parallel to the spline shaft. The block is driven by a second belt to move along the spline shaft.
