Summary:
The high density wiring used on newer electronic devices requires an improved processing technique to eliminate wiring errors and difficulties in reworking assemblies. For example, one subassembly has three cables and three connectors containing approximately 130 wires that terminate on a printed wiring board (PWB). The board is approximately 50.8 mm wide by 101.6 mm long, contains about 20 components, and interconnects with 8 to 10 wires from other printed wiring assemblies (PWAs). A unique system flexible enough to meet present and future work requirements was developed. The Component Locator System usually is referred to as a Work Director at Bendix. The Work Director shows the exact location for installing the wire on the PWB and codes the Cable Scanner for the correct wire. The Cable Scanner then provides an audible signal when the operator touches the correct wire. This combination of Component Locator System and Cable Scanner eliminates the following operations: marking wires for identification; sorting marked wires when attaching to connectors; electrically checking wire number versus pin number; identifying wires by markings when installing them in the PWB; and determining the proper PWB hole location from a visual aid.
