APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLY

摘要

An apparatus and method for wire harness assembly employ a formboard with a plurality of holes and a plurality of layout sheets having respective free edges and opposing attached edges that are attached to the formboard so as to be aligned with and stacked upon one another. Each layout sheet also has a harness pattern thereon and a plurality of holes corresponding to holes in the formboard. One of the layout sheets can be selected to expose its harness pattern. The other unselected layout sheets comprise either or both of (i) at least one layout sheet under the selected layout sheet, and (ii) at least one layout sheet folded back from the selected layout sheet along the attached edge thereof. A plurality of guide pins can be inserted through respective holes in the selected layout sheet adjacent to its harness pattern, through respective holes in any unselected layout sheet under the selected layout sheet, and into corresponding holes in the formboard so as to be removably secured therein.
