Method for making vehicular wire harness having juxtaposed wires

摘要

A plurality of insulator-sheathed electric wire elements (a) are secured together to a connector (C) by an insulation displacement manner by means of juxtaposing the electric wire elements (a) on a plane, passing the wire elements (a) through a gripper (10), an insulation displacement press (30), clamping the passed ends of the wire elements by a chuck (43) of a measuring and drawing device (40), drawing the juxtaposed wire elements (a) by a given length by the chuck (43), and pressing the juxtaposed wire elements (a) at the given position in the length and width directions. The connector (C) is attached to the juxtaposed wire elements (a) at the position in the length and width directions by repeating the steps. Upon pressing, the given electric wire elements are cut off at the rear side of the pressed portions. The gripper (10) clamp the juxtaposed wire elements (a) after cutting them. The cut ends of the juxtaposed wire elements (a) are displaced to the chuck (43) in the measuring and drawing (40) and then are clamped by the chuck (43). The wire harness (W) can be produced by repeating the steps.
