Wire automation systems, jig boards for wire automation systems, and methods for assembling electrical raceways

Abstract

A wire automation system includes a jig board, a pre-processing cell, a wire automation cell, a post-processing cell, and a transportation platform. The jig board is configured for routing of wires of a wire raceway along a linear path and a non-linear path. The pre-processing cell is configured for placement of wire raceway hardware and wire routing hardware on the jig board. The wire automation cell is configured for automated placement of the wires on the jig board. The wire automation cell is linked in series with the pre-processing cell. The post-processing cell is configured for removal of the wire raceway from the jig board. The post-processing cell is linked in series with the wire automation cell. The transportation platform is configured for moving the jig board sequentially through the pre-processing cell, the wire automation cell, and the post-processing cell.
