US 11,232,887 B2 · Method for assembling and installing a wire bundle assembly group

Abstract

A method for assembling and installing a wire bundle assembly group (WBAG) is disclosed. The method includes placing a first grouping of components of a first WBAG on a first assembly panel of a fabrication table. The method also includes assembling the first WBAG from the first grouping of components and attaching the first WBAG to the first assembly panel. The method also includes actuating a pivot of an assembly frame supporting the first assembly panel to rotate the first assembly panel about a longitudinal axis. The method further includes placing a WBAG receiving panel of a transport tool adjacent the first WBAG and the first assembly panel. The method also includes releasing the first WBAG from the first assembly panel and dropping the WBAG onto the WBAG receiving panel. Finally, the method includes attaching the first WBAG to the WBAG receiving panel.
