ABSTRACT:
A method of automatically manufacturing cable harnesses, and an apparatus and assembly for implementing the method. The assembly includes a main conveyor capable of transporting wires by means of transfer clamps, a secondary conveyor capable of transporting unique transfer trays, themselves capable of receiving at least one component. Transfer trays are loaded into the secondary conveyor, where they pass through a component loading station for receiving components, then the trays travel to an insertion zone. The insertion zone includes a device for transferring the loaded trays from the secondary conveyor to the main conveyor, where the components receive the wire ends for forming the cable bundles. The formed bundles are then transferred away from the insertion zone by the main conveyor.
