Sakurabasi 2-149, Tsu, Mie, 514, JAPAN A b s t~t~t -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. Using experiments on test versions, the basic requirements are determined and evaluated, and the process control method for lines is confirmed. Based on the 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. 0-7803-0737-2/92$03.00 19920IEEE
