AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for manufacturing a shell assembly. First and second shells of a shell assembly may be formed from metal sheets via a stamping process. The stamping process may produce a number of first shellsattached to a section of metal sheet remaining after the stamping process -a guide rail - with the front endopening of the first shell being oriented at 90 degrees relative to the guide rail. A second shell may be formed and severed from a metal sheet as a result of the stamping process. One end of the first shellsmay be exposed after the stamping process such that the second shells may be assembled overthe exposed end of the first shells to form a shell assembly. Additional operations can be performed on the shell assembly.
