ABSTRACT:
A wire laying-out apparatus automatically lays out an electric wire on a wire laying-out plate. The electric wire is laid out by a wire laying-out head which is freely moved on the wire laying-out plate by an X-direction feed shaft and a Y-direction feed shaft. A plurality of wire guiding devices are arranged in a linear manner on the wire laying-out head. A selecting device is provided in the vicinity of the wire guiding device. The selecting device selects one of the wire guiding devices. It is possible to lay out the electric wire by lowering a wire guiding device. When the electric wire to be laid out is replaced, the electric wires are not tangled. An oblique arch including guide rollers for guiding the electric wires to the wire guiding devices helps inhibit tangling of the wires. In addition, the wire guiding devices are integrated with the wire laying-out head so that the electric wire can be replaced irrespective of the position on the wire laying-out head. Therefore, it takes less time to replace the electric wire.
