Wiring the robot in inventor.
 
Can anyone give me a walkthrough of wiring in inventor. I currently know of the different piping commands, but am unable to find a wiring command. Any help will be welcomed. We have a control board that needs wiring, and if you can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not aware of any "wiring" command(s). I use sweep features.

Reply to vV,

Inventor Pro 10 has wiring harness creation built in. Can't help much more because we haven't gotten that far yet.

you might want to try private messenging Robert Thacker- . he is one of the inventor guys on our team and h really knows what hes doing. last year, a kid who graduated wired the robot in inventor, but im sure rob knows how to do it as well, seeing as it has to get done for this year :rolleyes:

Are there any drawings of the wire fittings? By fittings i mean ;example; the part between the controller board and wire.

Use Sweep comand and a work plane over your electronics board.
I hope this helps.

I saw a tutorial on the wiring/plumbing features somewhere on the autodesk website.

I found this article a couple months ago. It helped me out quite a bit, although I haven't gotten that far on our recent CAD. http://manufacturing.cadalyst.com/ma....jsp?id=180772
Hopefully it'll help you...

There should be a book called "Routed Systems: Getting Started" that came with the inventor package. It's got instructions on how to make flexible tubing, wires, harnesses and pretty much anything else for the electrical system. Chapter 8 and beyond is what you'll want.

I assume you mean crimp terminals...
*checks vKOP*
As far as I can find, there are only two in the vKOP ("Terminal Supply Bag" folder), but they should be pretty easy to make.
I'll mess around with it next time I get a chance and maybe post a model or at least instructions.

In 103 we wired our robot last year. There are two ways of doing the wiring, our way looks more like a schematic (what we wanted). If you want I can walk you through it one day just IM me I have inventor here. Jaymacdaddy0204

One piece that makes wiring in inventor easier, wehn using inventor 10, is having anderson connectors and crimps to use as your endpoints. then you create a new segment, and add waypoints until it fits your desired wire path.

On the panel bar, click the Part Features pull-down menu and choose Harness Part Features.
I was unable to find the harness part feature in my version of inventor. Is there an add-on for the harness part feature? We are using Autodesk Inventor Professional 10.

Can't quite remember but, it may have been on disc 4?

CraigHickman 17-02-2006 10:35

Re: Wiring the robot in inventor.
 
Yeah, it's on the disc with the modules and content center stuff. An easy way to discover If you have all of that is to try runing design accelerator, and trying to make a sprocket or two. If you can't, you don't have the content center and modules. (yes, they're worth a total re-install)
