<p>A method and apparatus for making an electrical harness. The harness generally includes at least one connector having a housing with insulation displacement type contacts loaded therein. Each contact is connected to an insulation clad multi-wire ribbon cable. The apparatus performs the functions of positioning a connector on a first station, holding the ribbon cable at a second station remote from the first station, moving the connector to the second station so that each contact is in alignment with each wire, moving the connector toward the ribbon cable so that each wire is simultaneously displaced into its corresponding contact, moving the connector back to the first station, holding the ribbon cable at the second station at the end of its length, cutting the insulation of a predetermined segment on the end of the length at the second station, cutting the ribbon cable held at the second station, imparting a longitudinal force upon the cut length of ribbon cable to pull the cable length from the second station and strip the cut insulation segment from the end thereof.</p> |
