A robotic wire harnessing system

Abstract

Wire harness fabrication is extremely labour intensive. Previous attempts to automate the process have used X‐Y tables and have only been partially successful due to limited degrees of freedom. Unimation has demonstrated the feasibility of using a robot to integrate the wire termination, insertion, routing and testing operations into a single manufacturing system.
