Abstract
An improved coding station for a wire harness processing machine includes a wiper assembly mounted alignment with a reciprocating knife assembly. The knife assembly has a plurality of individual cutoff blades which reciprocate in a cutting action to sever coding lugs formed on electrical connectors. The wiper assembly includes a wiper arm which extends out from a base portion to a location spaced apart from a cutoff anvil so that it contacts outer surfaces of the cutoff blades to provide an edge which wipes severed coding lugs from the cutoff blade outer surfaces.
