Electrical harness assembly apparatus.

摘要

An apparatus for producing wire harness assemblies, each assembly comprising a plurality of cable wires having opposed ends with terminals (156) mounted to said wires at one end of said cable wires and a housing (154) at one of said ends with a plurality of said terminals mounted therein, said apparatus comprising an insertion station for inserting the terminals into the housing, at least one probe assembly (211) at the insertion station, said probe assembly including a plurality of probes corresponding in number to the number of terminals (156), each said probe being configured to engage a corresponding terminal; means (217) for moving the probes selectively into and out of engagement with the terminals (156); and means (216) for moving the housing (154) relative to the terminals (156) and the probes such that the probes guide the housing during the insertion of the terminals.
