Route Design of a String for a Tying Tool to Bind Wire Harnesses for Airplanes
Yuma Ishihara, Hidefumi Wakamatsu, Eiji Morinaga · Journal of Smart Processing · 2021
Wire harnesses for airplanes are manufactured by bundling multiple wires together with strings by human workers. We designed a guide part to develop a tool to improve the efficiency of the bundling process. We proposed a method to calculate the optimal path in the whole process while minimizing the number of predetermined design parameters, and made a prototype of a guide part with the path determined by this met hod for verification.
