Abstract:
Apparatus and method for fabricating a multi-wire harness assembly are disclosed. The harness consists of a multi-contact electrical connector with a plurality of wires of diverse lengths attached thereto. The free ends of the wires have been differentially stripped for the application of electrical terminals. The fabrication apparatus consists of spaced wire insertion and stripping stations. Wire lengthening blades, located between the wire insertion and stripping stations, pull wires through wire stripping blades to differentially remove the insulation from one end.
