ABSTRACT:
The manufacturing system includes a wire segment preparation subsystem and a termination subsystem, each of which operates independently under the direction of local computer controllers. The preparation sybsystem measures and marks wire and cuts it into segments. The termination subsystem processes the ends of the wire segments. A transport subsystem selectively transports batches of wire segments from the preparation subsystem to the termination stations of the termination subsystem. A system controller oversees the operation of the system and transmits batches of computer process control data to the subsystems. The local controllers use the downloaded batches of data to direct the processing of batches of wire segments. The system may be entirely automated, or may include a mix of automated and manual work stations. The segments are preferably loaded in batches in carriers for transport between subsystems and work stations. The carriers may be transported by hand, along roller tables, and/or on conveyors. The subsystem work stations have input and output queues. The wire segments are hung on dividers in the carrier or are individually coiled onto reelettes which are in turn loaded in the carrier.
