Abstract:
1. A wire harness projection guidance system comprising: a support stand for supporting a wire harness board used to construct a wire harness; a projector mounted to the support stand for projecting an image onto the wire harness board; and a control system operatively associated with the projector for generating a series of images to be displayed by the projector, each image in the series representing a wire route in the wire harness for an associated individual wire wherein each wire route is used as a template to shape an associated wire and wherein light from the projector to the wire harness board is at a select, non-perpendicular, projection angle relative to the wire harness hoard supported on the support stand and the control system is adapted to modify the generated series of images to adjust for the projection angle wherein the projection angle is calculated using calibration coefficients based on a projected grid and a desired grid.
