Method for producing cable harnesses (cable looms)

摘要

A method is described for producing cable harnesses especially using so-called crimping technology, by means of a multi-axis positioning device and, in particular, by means of an industrial robot which is controlled by a control unit. The invention is distinguished by the combination of the following steps: a) The industrial robot picks up a first tool which can accommodate, store, make contact with and lay cables, b) the industrial robot passes the tool to a cable fitting device, c) the industrial robot removes from the cable fitting device an identical tool which already contains a stored cable, in the case of which the cable ends are provided with contacts which are located at a defined point. d) The industrial robot moves the tool to the plug housing, inserts the contacts into the plug housing, and lays the cable stored in the tool.
