The production process of wire harness

The production process of wire harness

Wire harness production (commonly known as wiring) is the first step in the factory assembly line process in the manufacturing industry and plays a crucial role in the entire assembly process. Here is an introduction to how a complete assembly control line is made and put into production applications.

  • Wire cutting machine
  • Semi automatic terminal crimping machine (or fully automatic terminal crimping machine)
  • test machine
  • Bundle up

Step 1: The so-called refers to the process of cutting wires of different specifications into composite lengths according to the design drawings.

It can be divided into manual wire cut and machine wire cut. Manual wire cut requires manpower and is not easy to operate for large wires with thicker diameters.

machine wire cut is currently an effective method widely used in assembly workshops, but its disadvantage is that the machine's cutting harness length is not precise.

Once the machine malfunctions and the cut wires do not meet the requirements, they will all be scrapped, wasting funds.

Step 2: Front end processing of wires (processing shielded wires): The types of wires can be roughly divided into single wire, double glue wire, shielded wire, etc.

Processing shielded wires can be used as the initial step in wire harness production, as it saves time for subsequent processes, and shielded wire processing is different from other types of wires.

The front and end of shielded wires almost need to be processed, and just processing the shielding layer is enough to be a headache for many wire harness production colleagues.

It is necessary to take it out separately as an independent process for operation.

Step 3: Install wire number sleeves and color code: Install sleeves on both ends of the wire at the beginning and end.

This can be done as Step 3, based on the wire diameter table of the wiring (converted from the drawing).

This step is for better beam splitting.

What is bundling? Simply put, it means that the several wires that need to be tied together according to the drawing are fitted with sleeves and labeled with color codes.

Facilitating the subsequent wiring operation.

Step 4: End treatment of the wire: The so-called end treatment is to crimp the end of the wire to the terminal, capacitor, connector and other components so that it can be connected to the machine.

This way, a basic assembly line for assembly is ready.
