Benefits of technology

The technical effects of this patented invention aim to improve the efficiency and flexibility of wire harness assembly processes while reducing the cost per component. This involves managing multiple wires and lead parts with varying length sizes and placing them on specific locations within the assembly line. Additionally, it introduces a new way to make up and change the final assembly without having to move around large amounts of equipment.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text relates to improving the efficiency and accuracy of producing high-quality electrical connections between separate wiring harnesses used in electronic device (ECD) applications. Manual adjustments and reconfiguration of fixture arrangements can be difficult due to the complexity involved. This results in increased labor costs and potential manufacture errors. Therefore, there is a desire to simplify the process of connecting wires to connectors and terminals without requiring excessive manual labor.

Abstract

A floating pin form board assembly to aid wire harness assembly includes a first embodiment with a work block and chambers containing floating pegs which may reside in retracted or extended positions based on perforations in a wire routing form sheet which allow or prevent retracted pegs from rising to extended positions. Extended pegs may be locked into their extended positions by means of a slidable latch plate, and stop features in the pegs prevent them from escaping past their extended positions.
Alternatively, a floating peg form board assembly includes a perforated sheet and first, second, plates third plates each having apertures spaced apart in congruent arrays and a plurality of floating pegs having stop features, and a slidable latch plate having an array of keyhole slots complementary to apertures in one of the other perforated plates, with the latch plate used for locking the floating pegs into retracted or extended positions.
