<p>An electrical cable-making apparatus includes a cable-making area in which a shuttle mechanism (10) moves electrical wires (1) clamped therein from a first position to a second position at which the spaced wire ends are positioned between spaced parallel tapes (26). Clamping members (25c) move the tapes into engagement with the spaced wire ends and clamp the taped wire ends therebetween whereafter the shuttle mechanism (10) having been unclampled from the wires moves along the wires back to the first position. A wire-feeding mechanism (34, 38) feeds the wires (1) to a prescribed length and cutting and terminating members (61, 61a) cut the wires and terminate them in an electrical connector (2) thereby forming a cable with one end of the wires being taped and the other ends connected to a connector. A transfer mechanism (40) receives the wires (1) adjacent the taped wire ends and transfers the cable away from the cable-making area.</p> |
