ABSTRACT:
The fabrication of wiring harnesses requires many steps, such as a wire laying out step of laying out electric wires coated with insulative sheaths in a laying out array and cutting with measured length, a stripping step of the insulative sheaths at the ends of the electric wires, a crimping step of pressing terminals together with the bared ends of the electric wires in crimp contact, an inserting step of inserting into connectors the terminals pressed in crimp contact, etc. This system has an apparatus for each step modularized, and a module incorporated in the system can be increased or decreased in number depending upon a type of the desired wiring harness. For example, it is assumed now that a wiring harness fabrication line consists of an automated wire laying out module (1), a stripping module (3), two terminal-crimping modules (5), and a terminal-inserting module (7). When the type of the desired wiring harness is changed, additional automated wire laying out module (1) and terminal-inserting module (7) are provided in this fabrication line, and eventually, there can be incorporated two of the automated wire laying out modules (1) and two of the terminal-inserting modules (7) in this fabrication line. Thus, the automated fabricating system according to the present invention is a system pliably adjustable to the change of a design of the wiring harness.
