<p>Harness making apparatus has a wire insertion zone (16) in which there is located a connector locating means (18). Individual wires (6) are fed from reels (12) to the wire insertion zone (16) and the ends of the wires are inserted into the terminals in a connector (4) by inserters (76). The connector (4) is thereafter transported away from the insertion zone (16) and wire (6) is withdrawn from the reels (12). During movement of the connector (4), the wires (6) are cut to produce a harness assembly (2, 3, 5). The apparatus also has a second insertion zone and a second connector locating means therein. The apparatus can be operated in a mode such that a second connector is applied to the harness wires after the first connector has been moved away from the insertion zone.</p> |
