2.2.4 Wire Feed (Mask Tooling)
1.
After the connector has been transferred from the cut station to the termination station the operator
manually inserts the wires into the connector.
2.
This is aided by using a numbered plate (mask tooling) that slides down in front of the connector.
3.
This slide centers the connector by engaging spring-loaded comb tooling from below.
4.
The operator can then use the mask tooling to guide the wires into the connector.
