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. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is, therefore, the principal object of the present invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for making electrical harness of the type comprising at least one connector having a housing with insulation displacement type contacts loaded therein each contact connected to an insulation clad wire of the same length.
More particularly, it is the principal object of the invention to provide an improved method and apparatus of the type disclosed in U.
S.
Pat.
No.
4,235,015 as described in detail above wherein all of the wire lengths are the same.
The improved method of performing the invention contemplated herein is characterized by imparting said force longitudinally on the wire in a direction away from said second station.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved machine to practice the improved method recited above.
More particularly, the improvement comprising of the invention is a new means of imparting a force upon the cut lengths of wire which is characterized by: a reciprocally mounted stripping block having a limiting surface defining the furthest limit of the first station away from said second station, said stripping block being movable between a first position in the path of travel of the connector carrier whereby the connector carrier would abut said limiting surface when at the first station and a second position out of the path of travel of the connector carrier whereby said connector would be able to travel past said first station in a direction away from said second station; said control means moving the stripping block to its second position to allow the carrier to travel past said first station and exert a longitudinal force against said wires.
