Abstract
The connector housings (1) to be fitted out are fed in succession along a feed track, and are then moved, by means of at least two grippers (19, 20), which are spaced apart in the advance direction and can be moved synchronously with one another, stepwise and individually in succession from a take-over position (FIG. 6b), along a connector housing guide and clamping track (12) into a fitting-out position (FIG. 6g, 6h), and are fitted out there with an electrical conductor, and are then moved by means of the respectively associated gripper along the guide and clamping track (12) into a release position (FIG. 6c). After release of the fitted-out connector housing (1) in the release position by the second gripper (19) and release of the connector housing (1) which is to be moved from the take-over position into the fitting-out position and is to be fitted out, by the other first associated gripper (20), the latter is moved back in a horizontal plane until it engages with a further connector housing (1), which is in the take-over position and is to be fitted out, and the second gripper (19) is moved back until it engages with the connector housing to be fitted out, which has been released beforehand by the first gripper (20), and these steps of the cycle are repeated in alternation.
