    摘要: The invention is directed to a wire cutting and stripping and terminal attaching apparatus and, in particular to an improved wire positioning mechanism for positioning the stripped end of an insulated wire in an open barrel terminal. After the insulated wire is cut and a slug of insulation is removed from the end of the wire, a gripper rotates the wire so that the bare or stripped end of the wire is located above an open barrel terminal supported on a lower die of a terminal attaching unit. An upper die is movable on the terminal attaching unit in a direction toward and away from the lower die to crimp the terminal on the stripped end of the wire. The wire positioning mechanism includes a positioning member which is mounted on the upper die and arranged to contact the gripper and push the stripped end of the wire downwardly into the open barrel terminal before the upper die operates to crimp the terminal. A power operated mechanism, such as a fluid cylinder, is connected to the wire positioning member and can move the wire positioning member to an inoperative position when the terminal attaching unit is employed to attach close barrel terminals.
