Abstract
A method of separating wires from a wire bundle includes positioning a cable with a wire bundle at a wire separating area, positioning a gas nozzle at the wire separating area, and directing gas flow at the wire bundle to separate the wires from the wire bundle. A wire separating system is used to separate wires and including a cable holder having a fixture holding a cable with a wire bundle extending into a wire separating area. The system includes a gas nozzle at the wire separating area that directs gas flow into the wire separating area at the wire bundle. The gas flow separates individual wires from the wire bundle. A wire gripper is provided at the wire separating area. The wire gripper grasps the separated wire from the wire bundle.
