Wire curvature correcting device in pressure connection of wire

摘要

When a wire "a" is pressed into a pressure connection terminal of a connector C, an end portion of the wire "a" is clamped by a wire curvature correcting chuck 47, and the wire curvature correcting chuck 47 is slid in a pulling direction along the surface of a sheathing of the wire "a" in a state in which the feeding of the wire "a" is stopped, thereby correcting a curvature in the wire "a" so as to allow a press-in blade S to reliably grip the wire "a" and depress the same. In addition, in conjunction with the retraction of the wire curvature correcting chuck 47, its open/closed state is monitored by an opening/closing sensor to detect the amount of the projecting allowance of the wire "a" with respect to pressure connection, and a required measure can be adopted if the projecting allowance is insufficient.
