  • Publication number: 20250070524
    Abstract: A method for automated cable wire processing includes receiving a set of two or more cable wires, including at least a first cable wire positioned at a selection position, and a second cable wire positioned away from the selection position. A cable selection tool is automatically moved to contact the set of two or more cable wires, such that contact between the cable selection tool and the first cable wire causes a tip portion of the first cable wire to extend into a working region, and contact between the cable selection tool and the second cable wire moves a tip portion of the second cable wire outside of the working region. One or more tip processing operations are applied to the tip portion of the first cable wire within the working region.

  • Patent number: 10569344
    Abstract: A method and system are provided to position and drill an opening for a fastener through one or more workpieces. In the context of a method, a peen mark is formed on a workpiece at a location at which the opening is to be drilled. The method also includes utilizing a robotic vision system to identify the peen mark on the workpiece and thereafter drilling the opening configured to receive the fastener at the location designated by the peen mark. In the context of a system, the system includes a dot peen marking system configured to form a peen mark on a workpiece at a location at which the opening is to be drilled. The system also includes a robot comprising a vision system configured to identify the peen mark on the workpiece and a drilling machine configured to drill the opening at the location designated by the peen mark.
