Process for Forming Wire Harnesses

Abstract

An improved process for wire harness assembly using air pressure to seat and manufacture wiring harnesses.

1 .- 9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly comprising:
 a wire harness comprising:
 at least one wire engaged with at least one terminal; 
 the at least one terminal engaged with a ceramic junction; 
 a grommet engaging an outer surface of the at least one wire; 
   a hollow cap;   an air pressure source;   wherein the air pressure source acts upon the wire harness to position the wire harness within the hollow cap.   
     
     
         11 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the hollow cap includes a pre clinch. 
     
     
         12 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the grommet engages the pre clinch prior to air pressure acting upon the wire harness. 
     
     
         13 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein movement of the grommet seats the wire harness within the hollow cap. 
     
     
         14 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the grommet travels along a length of the at least one wire when air pressure is applied to the grommet. 
     
     
         15 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein a final position of the grommet is controlled by an interior structure of the hollow cap. 
     
     
         16 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 15 , wherein the grommet in the final position engages an end stop formed by the hollow cap. 
     
     
         17 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the wire harness is engaged with the hollow cap by having the at least one wire pass through an interior of the hollow cap. 
     
     
         18 . An improved system for assembling a wire harness assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the grommet pulls the at least one wire to a neutral position.
