As technology continues to grow, so do manufacturing innovations that make common manufacturing tasks easier with machinery than hiring a full production line staff. However, when it comes to manufacturing cable and wire harness assemblies, a personal approach is your best bet for the highest quality.
Cable and wire harnesses are most commonly used in the transportation field in both automobiles and aircraft’s. But even more commonly used as small components in much larger projects for construction machinery, data communications, box build, consumer products, and so much more.
The Non-Automated Approach
Cable and wire assemblies are designed according to electrical and geometric requirements for the larger project it will be functioning. The grouping of the specific wires in a specific harness can range from three different wires to hundreds of different wires, all of which require great attention to detail.
Automating some of the process such as twisting, cutting, and whether the wire requires shrink tubing will assist in keeping up with delivery goals. But when it comes to multi-conductors, multi-pair, and hook-up wires, it is best to leave those to manual labor to ensure the quality is aligned with the specifications set forth when the project was put into production.
The Complex Applications to Cable and Wire Manufacturing
Below is a list of non-automated functions in manufacturing. If you use a manufacturing company that does the below task automated, make sure to receive quality documents.
- Installing terminated wires at different lengths
- Making multiple crimps throughout the wire
- Binding various parts of the wire with clamps, tape, or other components
