ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatically stripping and terminating wires in a continuous manner includes a wheel on which a plurality of insulated wires are located which is mounted for intermittent rotation in a stepwise manner for feeding the wires successively to spaced operating stations, namely to a stripping station where the end region of insulation is stripped from the wires and then to a terminating station where the endmost one of a strip of interconnected terminal contacts is located over the bared end region of the wire, crimped thereto, the terminal contact then being severed from the strip. The stripping station includes a pair of insulation cutters mounted on a cutter holder member which itself is mounted for reciprocating movement in the direction of the axis of the wire located at the stripping location and apparatus for actuating the insulation cutters while gripping the wire. The terminating station includes a pair of tool holders mounted for reciprocating movement and carrying crimping and contact cutting tools and, additionally, a mechanism for feeding the contact terminal strip along a path coincident with the axis of the wire located at the terminating location. The various operations performed on the wires as well as the feed of the wires are all operatively associated with a common drive so that such operations are synchronized in a precisely timed manner. Further, stripping and terminating operations are simultaneously performed on respective wires during the operation of the apparatus.
