ELECTRIC WIRE SLACK-ABSORBING APPRATUS AND ELECTRIC WIRE SLACK-ABSORBING METHOD

摘要

An electric wire slack-absorbing apparatus and method are provided, by which an electric wire slack can be securely absorbed. The electric wire slack-absorbing apparatus includes a delivery roll, encoder, pressing part, and control device having a control circuit. The delivery roll transfers the electric wire along a longitudinal direction thereof. The encoder detects a transfer length of the electric wire. The pressing part presses the electric wire along a direction crossing a transferring direction of the electric wire. The control circuit makes the delivery roll intermittently transfer the electric wire according to a predetermined pattern. According to the transfer length of the electric wire detected by the encoder, the control circuit makes the pressing part press the electric wire from a time point just before the control circuit makes the delivery roll stop the electric wire to a time point when a predetermined time passes thereafter.
