Abstract

Automated equipment to assemble connectors for telecommunication cables is proposed. The equipment can pick up a conductor from a set of twisted conductors, identify the conductor number by the color of its insulation, and arrange it on a connector. Experiments on test versions determine and evaluate the basic requirements and confirm the process control method for lines. Based on experimental results, estimations, and human interface, the equipment is designed and a prototype is manufactured. The use of this equipment is expected to reduce assembly time and eliminate human error.
