Terminal insertion apparatus

摘要

Terminal insertion apparatus (1) enabling the insertion of terminals (C) attached to electrical wires (W) into terminal insertion holes (F) of a connector housing (H) for two electrical wires (W) at the same time during wire harness production. The terminal insertion apparatus (1) comprises an electrical wire gripping unit (16) having two sets of chuck means (26a, 26b) that respectively grip the two electrical wires (W) held by a clamp means (6) at a specified arrangement pitch (±). The two chuck means (26a, 26b) change the arrangement pitch (±) of the electrical wires (W) that arc gripped by these two chuck means (26a, 26b) from the specified arrangement pitch (±) to an arrangement pitch (²) at which the terminals (C) attached to the electrical wires (W) that are gripped by the two chuck means (26a, 26b) can be inserted into specified ones of the terminal insertion holes (F) of the connector housing (H).
