Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Bereitstellen von vorkonfektionierten Leitungen für die automatische Konfektion mindestens eines Teilleitungssatzes zum Montieren eines Leitungssatzes und eine Anordnung mit einem Teilleitungssatz.The invention relates to a method for providing pre-assembled lines for the automatic assembly of at least one partial line set for mounting a line set and an arrangement with a partial line set.

Eine Erstellung eines Leitungssatzes für ein Kraftfahrzeug ist ein nahezu vollständig manueller Prozess. Bei allen Konfektionären zum Erstellen des Leistungssatzes werden mit Steckkontakten versehene Leitungen von Hand an einem Formbrett verlegt. Ein Verlegen des Leitungssatzes soll in Zukunft maschinell und vollautomatisiert durchgeführt werden können.Creating a wiring harness for a motor vehicle is an almost entirely manual process. With all manufacturers for the creation of the performance set, cables provided with plug contacts are laid by hand on a molding board. In the future, it should be possible to lay the wiring harness automatically and fully automatically.

Ein Leitungssatz umfasst in der Regel mehrere, bspw. einige Hundert, ca. 1200 unterschiedliche Leitungen, die hinsichtlich unterschiedlicher Kontaktteile, Querschnitte oder Isolationsfarben sowie hinsichtlich eines verwendeten Leistungsmaterial variieren können.A cable set usually comprises several, for example a few hundred, approx. 1200 different cables, which can vary with regard to different contact parts, cross-sections or insulation colors as well as with regard to a power material used.

Diese unterschiedlichen Leitungen werden zum Herstellen des Leitungssatzes auf Gehängen an ein entsprechendes Formbrett geliefert. Allerdings ist ein derartiger Anlieferzustand für eine voll automatisierte Fertigung von Leitungssätzen nicht zielführend.These different cables are supplied on hangers on a corresponding molding board for the production of the cable set. However, such a delivery condition is not expedient for a fully automated production of wiring harnesses.

Die Firma Schleuniger bietet für ihre Crimpcenter eine zusätzliche Einheit zur Bündelung von mit Steckkontakten versehenen Leitungen und ein AutoCoiling System an. Allerdings kann dieses AutoCoiling System lediglich eine Leitungsvariante (single wire applications) verarbeiten, diese bündeln und binden.Schleuniger offers an additional unit for its crimping center for bundling cables with plug contacts and an auto-coiling system. However, this AutoCoiling system can only process one cable variant (single wire applications), bundle and bind them.

Der Wickelkern ist so gestaltet, dass die jeweils untersten Drahtwindungen in ein unterhalb des Wickelkerns angeordnetes Wickelfass fallen, sobald eine Anzahl der auf dem Wickelkern aufgelegten Drahtwindungen eine vorbestimmte Zahl überschreitet.The pamphlet DE 42 08 724 C2 describes a drum winding device for winding strand-like wire, which can be surface-coated or insulated. The drum winding device comprises a cylindrical, vertically arranged winding core and a laying device which places wire windings on this winding core. The winding core is designed in such a way that the bottom wire windings in each case fall into a winding drum arranged below the winding core as soon as a number of the wire windings placed on the winding core exceeds a predetermined number.

Die Druckschrift DE 197 06 449 A1 betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Teilleitungssätzen zur Weiterverarbeitung aus abgelängten Leitungen, die bereits konfektioniert von einer Leitungskonfektionierungsmaschine durch die Vorrichtung übernommen werden. Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einzelnen Teilbearbeitungsmodulen zum Bündeln und zur Formgebung für die fertiggestellten Teilleitungssätze. Die Teilbearbeitungsmodule sind entweder mit einer austauschbaren Funktionseinheit oder mit mehreren austauschbaren Funktionseinheiten versehen, die der Anpassung der Gesamtvorrichtung an unterschiedliche Anforderungen an die Teilleitungssätze bzgl. der Länge und des Durchmessers der Leitungen, einer Ausführung von Schweißknoten und der Formung der fertiggestellten Teilleitungssätze für eine vollautomatisierte Weiterverarbeitung dienen.The pamphlet DE 197 06 449 A1 relates to a device for the production of partial line sets for further processing from cut-to-length lines, which are already assembled by a line assembly machine and taken over by the device.
