Patent ID: 8528199

Claim:
A manufacturing method for wire harness, by inserting a terminal into a connector housing which is supported at a connector supporting jig by using a terminal inserting device, comprising the steps of: measuring and cutting a wire in a predetermined length; joining a separate terminal to each end of the cut wire; holding the each end of the wire with terminals at two holders adjacent each other; transferring the two holders holding the each end of the wire with terminals in a transferring direction by a transferring device; picking up the both ends of the wire at a predetermined position in the transferring direction from the transferring device by a pair of chucks, each said chuck picking up one of the both ends of the wire; chucking the both ends of the wire with terminals fed through the pair of chucks, each end of the wire being fed through one of the pair of chucks, by a pair of terminal inserting heads as the terminal inserting device, the pair of terminal inserting heads moving freely independently of each other at least in a direction of a row of the connector housings; and inserting the terminals at the both ends simultaneously into each of the connector housings.
