Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 The device 1 depicted in to facilitate the production of harnesses comprises a plate 2 placed on a substantially horizontal table 10 . Preferably, the plate is produced in a plastic material such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). However, other types of materials are possible without departing from the framework of the invention. The cable transfer mechanism 4 is also arranged on this table. The device 1 also comprises a control mechanism 12 suitable for driving the displacement of the cable transfer mechanism 4 . Such as figure 2 , 3a Depicted in more detail in and 3b, the plate 2 comprises at least one groove 8 . This groove is suitable for receiving cables. This groove is at least partially covered by means 6 for retaining the cable in said groove. These means 6 can be produced, for example, in elastomeric material comprising a slot aligned with the groove. The thickness of the elastomeric material is preferably bet...

Abstract

The device has a board (2) having a groove (8) that is suitable for receiving cables. A transport element comprises a nozzle that is arranged to transport the cables and to position the cables in the groove of the board. A control unit is arranged to control the displacement of the cable transport nozzle. A set of flexible and resilient holding elements (6) is arranged to hold the cables in the groove. The holding elements are deformable to allow the nozzle to pass when the nozzle positions the cables in the groove and to revert to its initial form to hold the cables in the groove.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of producing wiring harnesses, in particular wiring harnesses for aircraft. A harness consists of a plurality of cables extending between at least two connection points. When a wire harness comprises a plurality of branches, and thus more than two connection points, each cable of the wire harness follows a route between two of said connection points, and the routes followed by the different cables making up the wire harness are at least partially mutually cover. Different cables running side-by-side on the same route section are usually connected together (for example, by cable ties) in order to ensure bonding of the wire harness. Background technique [0002] Wire harnesses are usually produced manually by an operator who uses templates for this purpose. Document US 3.653.411 describes such a board. The plate comprises a plurality of pins which define on the plate the extension of the cables of the harness and th...
