The wire processing system may include a wire transport, a processing station that may provide wire to the wire transport, a processing station that may move an electrical component threaded onto the wire, and a processing station that may move the electrical component to a position on the wire for further processing.

A technique suitable for measuring the shape of a linear object. In the process of manufacturing a wire harness, a processing position identification process, in which a processing position is identified by measuring the three-dimensional shape of a wire assembly, is executed. This processing position identification process includes the following: a point group data acquisition step of acquiring point group data from image data acquired by capturing an image of the wire assembly using an image capturing unit; a representative line acquisition step of acquiring a representative line indicating a linear part of the wire assembly on the basis of the point group data; and a processing position identification step of identifying the processing position on the wire assembly to be processed, on the basis of a length along the representative line.

The present invention provides technology that makes it possible to perform branch formation on a semi-finished product in which electrical wires are inserted into connectors, without placing the semi-finished product on a jig board, and improving manufacturing flexibility. A wire harness manufacturing method includes step (a) and step (b). The step (a) is preparing a member in which a plurality of connectors into which electrical wires are inserted are respectively held by connector holding parts such that the electrical wires dangle, and supporting parts that are able to support the connector holding parts in a first direction that is orthogonal to a vertical direction are arranged in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The step (b) is forming branches from portions of the electrical wires that dangle from the connectors, with the connectors remaining in a state of being held by the connector holding parts.
