A Rig for Comparing Wire Harnesses

A rig (100a or 100b or 100c or 100d) for comparing wire harnesses (300a or 300b), the rig (100a or 100b or 100c or 100d) includes a workbench (110), two or more terminals (120a, 120b, 120c) arranged on the workbench (110), the terminals (120a, 120b) are adapted to receive one or more connector ends (302a, 304a, 302b, 304b) of the wire harness (300a, 300b) and a display (170), each terminal (120a, 120b) is electrically coupled with an electric supply (140),

• one or more control units (150a, 150b), each control unit (150a, 150b) is connected to the respective terminal (120a, 120b), the control unit (150a, 150b) is adapted to sense electrical parameters at the respective terminal (120a, 120b) when the respective terminal (120a, 120b) is supplied with the electric supply (140) and generates sensed signals charecterised in that the rig (100a or 100b or 100c or 100d) comprises;
• a workstation (160) connected to the control units (150) through a wireless connection (164) to receive sensed signals from the control units (150a, 150b) and to send actuation signals to the control units (150a, 150b), the workstation (160) is having a user interface (162) to configure the circuitry details of the first wire harness (300a) and a memory unit (168) for storing prestored circuitry details of a first wire harness (300a) and a processor (166);
• wherein upon connecting a second wire harness (300b) to the respective terminals (120b) and supplying the electric supply (140) to the terminals (120a or 120b), the control units (150a or 150b) send sensed signals to the workstation (160), the processor (166) compares the sensed signals from the control units (150a or 150b) with the prestored circuitry details of the first wire harness (300a) and provide comparison details through the display (170) connected therewith.
