Abstract: An automated system for processing an end of a cable. The system includes: a cable delivery system; a cable processing module; a pallet supported by the cable delivery system; a drive wheel rotatably coupled to the pallet; a motor operatively coupled for driving rotation of the drive wheel; and an idler wheel rotatably coupled to the pallet and forming a nip with the drive wheel. The cable processing module includes cable processing equipment configured to perform an operation on an end of a cable and a computer system. The computer system is configured to: (a) cause the drive wheel to rotate in a cable pushing direction to cause a specified length of cable to be inserted into the cable processing equipment; (b) activate the cable processing equipment to perform an operation on the inserted end of the cable; and (c) cause the drive wheel to rotate in a cable pulling direction to cause the specified length of cable to be removed from the cable processing equipment.

Abstract: An apparatus for installing at least one electrical contact into a connector housing comprises a base configured to fixedly support the connector housing, an alignment guide, extending from the base and having a central axis, and a carrier, translatably and pivotally coupled with the alignment guide. With the connector housing fixedly supported by the base, the alignment guide is configured to be parallel to an insertion axis of a socket of the connector housing, and the carrier is movable parallel to the insertion axis. The apparatus additionally comprises a tool holder, coupled to the carrier. The tool holder has a working axis, only one degree of freedom relative to the carrier, and only three degrees of freedom relative to the base.

Abstract: A method of manipulating a wire, having an electrical contact, comprises clamping the wire with a predetermined force between a first gripping portion, installed in a first channel of a first tip half, and a second gripping portion, installed in a second channel of a second tip half. The method also includes pushing the electrical contact into a receptacle of a terminal block using a first internal shoulder of the first channel and a second internal shoulder of the second channel to interlock the electrical contact and the terminal block. With the wire clamped between the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion, the method includes verifying that the electrical contact and the terminal block are interlocked by pulling the first tip half and the second tip half away from the terminal block until the wire slips along the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion.
