12 Claims

1. A modular wire processing center comprising a central control unit for controlling plural processing modules in response to production data which are predetermined by a computer aided engineer system or are manually entered, one of the plural processing modules being an automatic crimper and at least two further processing modules of the plural processing modules being selected from a group of an automatic cutter, marking system, stripping unit, terminal feeding, wire feeding unit and wire discharging/bundling unit, wherein the plural processing modules are designed as independently operable individual processing units and are positioned, jointly with the central control unit, on a mobile platform, wherein the central control unit and the plural processing modules are designed so that wires having different diameters and different terminals can be assembled successively in any order.
