  • Patent number: 11894650
    Abstract: A foil peeling apparatus includes an electric wire gripping unit configured to grip a multi-core electric wire including wire members linearly arranged in parallel, a foil covering the wire members, and a sheath covering the foil, the sheath being peeled off at a tip end portion of the electric wire such that the foil is exposed. The foil peeling apparatus further includes: a wire member space forming unit configured to be pressed against an exposed portion of the foil between the wire members so as to form a space between the wire members; a foil cutting unit configured to be abutted against the exposed portion of the foil corresponding to the space formed between the wire members so as to form a cut in the foil; and a foil removal unit configured to open the foil from the cut, and cut the foil which has been opened.

  • Patent number: 11056851
    Abstract: A terminal insertion device is provided which enables inserting connector terminals into terminal accommodating chambers of a connector housing, each of the connector terminals being connected to an end of each of a plurality of electric wires in a multi-core cable by crimping, while reducing the separation length for the plurality of electric wires. The terminal insertion device comprises: a terminal separator configured to be interposed between two connector terminals; a terminal chuck configured to clamp and bundle the two connector terminals in two directions, i.e., in a first direction intersecting an insertion direction and in a second direction intersecting the insertion direction and the first direction; and a moving mechanism configured to move at least one of a connector housing and the two connector terminals held by the terminal separator and the terminal chuck to insert the two connector terminals into two terminal accommodating chambers.

  • Patent number: 10886042
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) is designed to manufacture a twisted wire by twisting a plurality of electric wires (101), and includes an raising and lowering unit (2), an twisting unit (3), and a control unit (4). The raising and lowering unit lifts the plurality of electric wires and lowers the manufactured twisted wire, and includes: a raising and lowering portion (6); a guiding portion (7) vertically guiding the raising and lowering portion; and a raising and lowering mechanism (8) capable of switching a raising and lowering speed of the raising and lowering portion to a high speed or a low speed.

  • Publication number: 20190372291
    Abstract: A connector terminal crimped and connected to an end of an electrical wire is inserted into a terminal housing of a connector housing while suppressing an extra length of the electrical wire. A terminal insertion device for inserting a connector terminal in a fitting part crimp-connected to an end of an internal electric wire into a cylindrical terminal housing in the connector housing holds the connector housing so that a terminal-side holding part for holding the connector terminal, a longitudinal direction of the connector terminal held by the terminal-side holding part and the axial direction of the terminal housing coincide with each other, and includes a housing moving part for sliding in the longitudinal direction the connector housing until the second fitting part of the connector terminal is accommodated in the terminal housing.

  • Patent number: 10050401
    Abstract: A terminal insertion device that inserts a terminal into a connector housing, is provided with a stationary disk, a parallel joint mechanism which grasps an electric wire which is connected to the terminal at a leading end and conveys the electric wire and inserts the terminal into a cavity of the connector housing, a biaxial sensor portion capable of measuring at least a contour position of the terminal, roll angle calculation portion which calculates a roll angle with respect to a reference condition, and a roll angle compensation control portion that controls the parallel joint mechanism to compensate an inclination of the terminal.
