Abstract
Pendant un cycle de l'appareil un fil métallique (W) avance le long d'un chemin d'alimentation (P) d'une longueur de câble, puis il est serré au moyen de serre-fils (8 et 12) sur des premier et second supports rotatifs de fils (6 et 10). Lorsqu'un câble (L) a été sectionné du fil métallique (W) par des lames (4), les supports (8 et 12) sont balancés dans des directions opposées pour positionner l'extrémité du fil (SW) dans une première station de terminaison (14) et l'extrémité du câble (SL) dans une seconde station de terminaison (16). La première station de terminaison (14) possède trois dispositifs applicateurs de terminaisons de fils (36, 38 et 40) espacés sur la longueur du chemin (P). Le premier support rotatif (6) de fil peut être ajusté sélectivement pas à pas et sur la longueur du chemin (P) pour positionner l'extrémité de fils (SW) dans un applicateur prédéterminé (36, 38 ou 40) de la première station de terminaison (14). La seconde station de terminaison (16) applique une extrémité de câble (SL) à un contact d'un connecteur multicontact (MC) à chaque cycle de l'appareil.During a cycle of the device, a metal wire (W) advances along a supply path (P) with a cable length, then it is tightened by means of wire clamps (8 and 12) on first and second rotary wire supports (6 and 10). When a cable (L) has been cut from the metal wire (W) by blades (4), the supports (8 and 12) are swung in opposite directions to position the end of the wire (SW) in a first station termination (14) and the end of the cable (SL) in a second termination station (16). The first termination station (14) has three wire termination applicators (36, 38 and 40) spaced along the length of the path (P). The first rotary wire support (6) can be selectively adjusted step by step and along the length of the path (P) to position the end of the wire (SW) in a predetermined applicator (36, 38 or 40) of the first station termination (14). The second termination station (16) applies a cable end (SL) to a contact of a multicontact connector (MC) at each cycle of the device.
