Abstract

Abstract An improved apparatus for automatically producing cable with terminals crimped thereto is disclosed which includes a cable storing section, for storing various kinds of cables, a cable selecting section for selecting a required cable, a cable measuring and cutting section, a cable sheath scraping section for removing insulative sheath at the foremost end parts of the cable, a terminal crimping section having a plurality of terminal pressure connecting machines arranged in line along a conveyor, and a control circuit. The control circuit automatically controls selection of kinds of cables and terminals and their working conditions at every time when operations are achieved in each of the sections. The cable measuring and cutting section is provided with a direct measuring mechanism in which a distance of movement of the measuring head is measured while it is stretched under the effect of tension. The cable sheath scraping section is preferably provided with a scraping length adjusting mechanism which serves to adjustably determine the length of naked wire portion of the cable at the foremost end parts thereof with insulative sheath removed therefrom.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 160 words
An apparatus for automatically producing cable with terminals crimped thereto essentially comprising: a cable storing section in which various kinds of cables are stored at the position predetermined in accordance with their kind, a cable selecting section for selectively taking a certain cable from the group of cables stored in the cable storing section, a cable measuring and cutting section in which the extended length of a cable selected in the preceding section is measured and it is then cut to the measured length, a cable sheath scraping section in which insulative sheaths at the foremost end parts of the cable are scraped, a terminal crimping section including a plurality of terminal crimping machines with a crimp height adjusting mechanism incorporated therein respectively, and a control circuit which assures that kinds of cables and terminal and their working conditions in the above-mentioned sections are automatically and selectively controlled at every time when operations are performed in each of the sections.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 160 words
An apparatus for automatically producing cable with terminals crimped thereto essentially comprising: a cable storing section in which various kinds of cables are stored at the position predetermined in accordance with their kind, a cable selecting section for selectively taking a certain cable from the group of cables stored in the cable storing section, a cable measuring and cutting section in which the extended length of a cable selected in the preceding section is measured and it is then cut to the measured length, a cable sheath scraping section in which insulative sheaths at the foremost end parts of the cable are scraped, a terminal crimping section including a plurality of terminal crimping machines with a crimp height adjusting mechanism incorporated therein respectively, and a control circuit which assures that kinds of cables and terminal and their working conditions in the above-mentioned sections are automatically and selectively controlled at every time when operations are performed in each of the sections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
