A part manipulator an end effector coupled to a distal end of a robot arm. The end effector includes first and second clamp assemblies coupled to a frame. The first clamp assembly includes a first part gripper configured to pick a first part. The second clamp assembly includes a second part gripper configured to pick a second part. The second part gripper is movable relative to the frame in an actuation direction between a retracted position and an extended position. The second part gripper is located a second distance from the distal end of the robot arm in the retracted position. The second part gripper is located a third distance from the distal end of the robot arm in the extended position greater than the second distance.

A connector processing machine includes a feeder mechanism having a housing track for supporting connector housings between a loading zone and a punching zone. The feeder mechanism includes a feeder rail and a carriage sliding along the feeder rail by a feeder actuator between a pickup position and a drop off position. The feeder mechanism includes a walking beam movable by the carriage between the loading zone and the punching zone. The walking beam includes fingers configured to engage the connector housings to advance the connector housings. The connector processing machine includes a punch assembly having a cutter assembly coupled to the walking beam and movable with the walking beam with cutters configured to cut housing runners between the connector housings to separate the connector housings from each other.
