AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT TO ASSEMBLE CONNECTORS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION CABLES

Automated equipment to assemble connectors for telecommunication cable s is proposed. The equipment can pick up a conductor from a set of twi sted conductors, identify the conductor number by the color of its ins ulation, and arrange it on a connector. Experiments on test versions d etermine and evaluate the basic requirements and confirm the process c ontrol method for lines. Based on experimental results, estimations, a nd human interface, the equipment is designed and a prototype is manuf actured. The use of this equipment is expected to reduce assembly time and eliminate human error.
