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.

Foil peeling apparatus and foil peeling method

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.

Terminal insertion device

An apparatus () is designed to manufacture a twisted wire by twisting a plurality of electric wires (), and includes an raising and lowering unit (), an twisting unit (), and a control unit (). The raising and lowering unit lifts the plurality of electric wires and lowers the manufactured twisted wire, and includes: a raising and lowering portion (); a guiding portion () vertically guiding the raising and lowering portion; and a raising and lowering mechanism () capable of switching a raising and lowering speed of the raising and lowering portion to a high speed or a low speed.

Twisted wire manufacturing apparatus and twisted wire manufacturing method

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.
