A system for the automated manufacture of a wiring harness, which demonstrates a branched structure made up of multiple individual conductor elements. To form wiring harnesses having an individually branched structure, the conductor elements are automatically brought into a predefined distribution structure, multiple second rails oriented in parallel to each other and multiple second transporters, distributed on the second rails, being used for this purpose. The second transporters are each fitted with one wire end of the conductor elements. To form the distribution structure, the second rails are subsequently moved in a vertical direction, and the second transporters are moved along the second rail. In this spread-apart structure, additional processing steps are carried out, for example a fixing of the conductor elements to each other.

System and method for the automated production of a wiring harness

A system for the automated production of a cable set, which has a branched structure of a plurality of individual line elements. In a modular set-up in the first part, a plurality of first processing stations, and in the second part, a plurality of second processing stations are arranged. In the first part, there is an automatic preparation of the individual line elements, which are then collected in a buffer station at the end of the first part. In the second part, the prepared individual line elements are assembled into the cable set. The line elements are plugged into connector casings in a connector station and transferred to second transporters, and via which the branched structure of the cable set is then formed by moving along second tracks. In this spread-out branched structure, a fixing of the line elements to one another takes place in a fixing station.
