In wire harness manufacturing, design specification must be accomplished along with high quality standards. Cable harness manufacturing process still does rely on manual assembly even after the global expansion of automated manufacturing. Hand manufacturing of harness and cable assemblies is necessary because of the minute and time consuming steps which help to complete the process. Though needful automation can be incorporated in the process.
One more reason behind the manual production of wire harness and cable assemblies is that it needs to be customized for each application. It has particular components designed for specific larger parts. This step includes wire cutting, stripping and connecting and then ends at assembly.
Wire cutting is to be done in the right length which can be executed by a wire-cutting machine. The next step needs the wire ends to be stripped for the cores to be exposed. This step is initiated to attach terminals or connector housings or modules. And then lastly the wires are gathered in a harness using an assembly board to fulfill the design specifications.
