Abstract: A wire harness assembly system for assembling a wire harness includes a table top supported above a floor along a Y axis, with the table top having a support surface having a perimeter and extending in an X axis and a Z axis. A plurality of guides is mounted relative to the table top in known locations across the support surface wherein each of the guides has a unique known location along the X and Z axes, and wherein the plurality of guides defines a plurality of wire paths for harness wires to form a variety of harnesses. The system further includes a robot supported adjacent the table top, with the robot having a robotic arm configured to engage a harness wire and to lay the harness wire in a selected wire path of the plurality of wire paths.
