Apparatus for connecting the ends of a plurality of wires to the terminals in a connector comprises a press having a reciprocating ram and insertion tooling on the ram for inserting the wires into terminals in a connector located in an insertion zone beneath the ram. The wires are presented to the insertion zone by means of a slide member which is movable between a loading station, which is beside the insertion zone, and an insertion station. Connectors are delivered to the insertion zone during each operating cycle by a connector feeding means. The apparatus is of the manually assisted type in that an operator need only place the wires on the slide while it is at the loading station.

Apparatus for rotating an electrical lead through an angle of 180 degrees comprises a frame in surrounding relationship to a conveyor clamp in which the lead is held, rotating assemblies and a control system. The rotating assemblies are in alignment with each other and on each side of the conveyor clamp, and are movable from a remote position to a proximate position relative to the conveyor clamp. The rotating assemblies contain rotating clamps. The control system releases the lead from the conveyor clamp simultaneously with closure of the rotating clamps in the rotating assemblies. After rotation of the rotating assemblies, the lead is released by the rotating clamps and the conveyor clamp is closed to grip the lead in its rotated orientation.

Apparatus for crimping terminals onto the ends of wires comprises a loading station at which the wires are serially loaded into a groove in a rotating drum. During rotation of the drum, the wires are moved laterally to a wire feeding station at which each wire is fed axially by the rotating drum, in cooperation with a pressure roller, to a crimping station at which a terminal is crimped onto the wire.

Terminal applicator for crimping closed barrel terminals in strip form onto wires has a reciprocable ram, crimping dies on the ram, an anvil for supporting the terminal during crimping, and strip feeding and severing means for feeding terminals to the crimping zone. The anvil is normally in a retracted position and the strip is fed to position the leading terminal of the strip on the housing when the anvil is in its retracted position. Thereafter, the leading terminal is severed from the strip and the anvil is moved to an extended position in which it is at the crimping site. During such movement, a wire held at the crimping site is located in the terminal and upon movement of the dies towards the anvil, the terminal is crimped onto the wire.

Apparatus for severing components from a strip of components and for inserting the severed components one by one into a work piece, comprises means for feeding the strip of components incrementally to a component severing station, means for severing the leading component from the strip at the severing station and an insertion tool for inserting the severed leading component into the work piece; all driven by a stepping motor through step down transmission means acting on a main cam shaft. A disc cam on the shaft has on opposite faces cam tracks receiving cam followers connected to the insertion tool and the severing means, the feeding means being driven through a barrel cam on the shaft. An electronic control unit monitors the angular position of the shaft.

A method and apparatus for closing and bonding initially open clam-shell housings about articles such as electrical terminals or the like. The housings are initially in strip form, a plurality of the initially open clam-shell housings being interconnected to each other by hinge members which extend outwardly from either the ends or the sides of opposed housing parts. A leading housing of the strip is initially disposed at an assembly station and an article is conveyed laterally into the housing. Subsequently the housing is partially closed by engaging one of the housing parts of a clam-shell housing adjacent the leading housing and moving it towards its opposed housing part to cause corresponding movement of the housing parts of the leading clam-shell housing. A bonding tool now engages and moves a housing part of the partially closed leading housing into a closed position with respect to the other housing part, and it is then bonded to said other housing part to secure the housing parts to each other about an article. The interconnecting hinge members are sheared from the closed clam-shell housing and the assembly is then discharged from the assembly station.

Apparatus for severing components for example, electrical posts, from a strip of such components and for inserting each severed component into a workpiece, for example, a circuit board, comprises a row of strip feed units, each for feeding a different strip of components towards strip severing and component insertion means. The row of units can be shifted lengthwise thereof to align a selected one of the units, at a time, with the severing and insertion means, in accordance with a component insertion program, the insertion means is adjustable, also according to the program to insert the components to selected depths.
