Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a wire harness from prefabricated cables according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a device for carrying out the method.
- a method for producing a cable harness from prefabricated cables is known, for example, from DE-OS 35 44 219.
- a cable harness is produced on a so-called laying board.
- receptacles for plug housings and so-called laying aids are provided on this laying board.
- the receptacles for the connector housing and the laying aids, which are used for the production of cable deflections etc., are arranged in such a way that the cable harness is produced in its later form. . is posed.
- a cable with plugs at both ends is first produced;
- Such cables are also known as pre-assembled cables.
- the pre-assembled cables are inserted into the connector housings by means of an industrial robot that guides a so-called laying tool and laid around the laying aids in accordance with the desired harness shape.
- the production of cable harnesses using the known methods according to the preamble of claim 1 has
- the disadvantage of the first-mentioned laying boards is, among other things. in that these laying boards are specific to the wiring harness and are therefore very inflexible even with minor changes to the wiring harness.
- the disadvantage of the convertible laying board types is, inter alia, that the conversion of the laying boards is associated with considerable lateral and / or technical effort.
- the production of cable harnesses in their later form takes a considerable amount of time due to the required travel path of the industrial robot.
- the idle times ie the times in which the industrial robot merely "follows up" the outer shape of the wire harness, can be up to 40% of the total production time and above.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a wire harness from pre-assembled cables and an apparatus for performing this method, which allows flexible manufacture of wire harnesses with minimized idle times.
- the invention is based on the basic idea that for the production of a cable harness from pre-assembled cables, i.e. It is not necessary to produce the cable harness in its later form from cables, the length of which has already been determined otherwise in accordance with the configuration of the cable harness to be produced, and which are already fitted with plugs.
- laying aids which are intended to keep the wiring harness "in its shape" before tying are completely dispensed with.
- This arrangement according to the invention drastically reduces the travel time of the industrial robot during the laying process.
- converting the device to a new wiring harness configuration is considerably simplified, since only corresponding receiving devices for the plug housing are to be arranged on a laying rail (claim 3) or on a laying board (claim 4).
- the connector housing receptacles can preferably be arranged on a narrow side of the laying board, so that the industrial robot and any further processing stations can be "moved close" to the connector housing receptacles.
- the embodiment characterized in claim 5, in which the laying board consists of a series of linear guides or linear axes, which are arranged in a row next to one another with a parallel displacement direction, is particularly advantageous.
- the individual axes can be driven pneumatically, electrically or hydraulically.
- the connector housing receptacles can be moved to any position in a short time. It is thus possible, after the laying process has ended, to convert the connector housing receiving devices into a position by a control unit which corresponds to the position when the cable harness is used later.
- La is a supervision of a first exemplary embodiment of the invention
- Lb is a view at A-A in Figure la
- FIG. 2a shows a top view of an "active" laying board designed according to the invention
- Fig. 2b is a view at A-A in Figure 2a.
- the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has an industrial robot 1, the work space of which is designated by 2.
- a conveyor belt 3 For example, on a conveyor belt 3, a laying board 4 is held in such a way that it is "vertical" with respect to a stationary coordinate system.
- the conveyor belt 3 can be used, for example, to transfer the laying board between the individual processing stations.
- Receiving devices 7 for plug housings are arranged on the top of the laying board, ie on an edge surface.
- the configuration of the cable harness is created in its actual application, for example a CAD work station. This configuration is then “transformed” in such a way that all of the necessary receptacle devices 7 for plug housings come to lie in a line. With the help of a gripper, the industrial robot 1 positions the receptacles for plug housings removed from the magazine 7 'on the upper edge of the laying board 4 designed in the vertical direction being stopped.
- the industrial robot changes the fitting tool in the tool change memory 6 with a cable laying and contacting tool.
- the prefabricated cables are preferably present in the memory 5 in the assembly sequence. With the laying tool, the cables are gripped at the ends that are made available at a defined location and guided to the laying board.
- the industrial robot exercises the first contact in the connector housing and travels directly to the second connector housing for the other end of the cable. This traversing process, for which only one movement is required, takes considerably less time compared to the traversing processes in known processes, in which the industrial robot has to traverse along the actual wiring harness configuration. ,
- the industrial robot 1 gets a tying tool from the tool changing magazine 6 'for bundling the cable strands.
- the wiring harness can be tied off.
- the tying tool encompasses the cable harness on the connector housing, ties the cable and then travels the distance to the first junction of the cable harness, where it is tied again.
- the laying board 4 is again taken over by the conveyor belt 3 and leads to a further processing or assembly station, on which, for example, the cable harness is encased.
- the tied cable harness is removed by industrial robot 1. If a cable of a different configuration is then to be produced, the industrial robot repositions the connector housing receptacles. If a cable harness of the same configuration is to be produced again, it is only necessary to re-equip the connector housing receiving device in order to be able to use the device to produce a further cable harness.
- FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the connector housing receptacle device 7 is rotatably attached to a linear guide or a linear axis by means of a turntable 10.
- the line that is between the two contacts hangs freely. This means that, in the same way as in the first exemplary embodiment, the lines are not laid on a specific laying path, but rather only the two line ends are guided in plug housings.
- the linear axes are moved to a target position in accordance with a predetermined target value. This is done by activating, for example, a hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical drive for each individual linear axis.
- the respective position of the linear axis with the associated turntable and receiving device for the connector housing corresponds to the position of the connector housing as provided in the construction drawing of the cable harness.
- the orientation of the connector housing can also be adjusted accordingly by turning the turntable.
- the cable harness is transferred from the position in which the individual cables "sag freely” into the working position by the simultaneous actuation of the linear axes and the turntable, extremely quickly and, in particular, significantly faster than by moving an industrial robot it is possible.
