Abstract: A routing element for a cable harness manufacturing system includes an assembly board having an attachment surface configured for receiving tooling components to support and locate a cable harness during manufacture. The routing element includes: an upper fixture support having an aperture for receiving a tooling component to support the cable harness during manufacture; and a lower suction holder including two suction cups for attaching the routing element to the assembly board. The lower suction holder and the upper fixture support are located axially about a central vertical axis of the routing element. The lower suction holder extends outwardly relative to the upper fixture support, such that the area covered by the lower suction holder is greater than that of the upper fixture support. Also provided is a cable harness manufacturing system and a kit including routing elements, spacer elements and support plates for a cable harness assembly board.

Abstract: An automated clip application system for fitting clips in an automotive assembly line includes a cassette receiving station for receiving at least one cassette preloaded with a plurality of clips. The clips in the cassette are arranged in the same orientation. A dispensing opening dispenses clips from the cassette one at a time, and a robotic member is programmed to pick up the clips, one at a time, after they have been dispensed from the dispensing opening and fasten each clip in position in an automotive assembly.
