ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for manufacturing wiring harnesses employs a robot mounted above a harness board with storage areas for jigs, connectors, wire dispensers, and insertion tooling about the periphery thereof for easy pickup by robotic gripper, which positions jigs and connectors and laces wire from a wire dispensing assembly through the jigs before terminating and severing wire. Dispensing assembly comprises a dispenser which gripper picks up from a bracket in a holder to draw wire from endless source to lace the harness. The holder has wire feed wheels and a severing mechanism therein which may be used with a choice of dispensers in order to use different color or size wire. After termination and severing, pivoted platforms on wire jigs eject wire scraps from around lacing posts fixed on the jigs.
