DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FEEDING WIRE END TO PROCESSING UNIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method for feeding a wire end of a wire loop to a processing unit processing the wire end.;SOLUTION: In a processing device (1), wire ends (3.1, 3.2) are circularly fed to processing units (20, 21, 22) arranged on a periphery. A loop layer (9) grips the wire end (3.1) at a front end, and makes it into a wire loop (3.10). Then, the wire (3) is moved forward by a belt apparatus (7), and a loop guide (10) picks up a loop end (3.11). The wire loop (3.10) moves upward until it reaches a desired dimension. The loop end (3.11) of the wire loop (3.10) is transferred to a holding element (41) of a rotary star (40) that can be displaced along a straight shaft (26) by the loop guide (10) according to a length of the wire loop (3.10).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
