Tools and equipment in cable assembly
Cable assembly is a highly specialized field that requires precision tools and specialized equipment. These tools and equipment play a crucial role in ensuring that the manufactured products meet the high standards of performance, reliability, and safety. From fully automatic cutting machines and crimping machines to specific testing devices, these technologies are indispensable for modern cable assembly.
Stripping tools Remove precise isolation
Stripping tools are indispensable in cable assembly for the precise removal of insulation from cables and wires. They are available in various designs depending on the specific requirements of the cable types. These tools enable the insulation to be removed precisely and evenly without damaging the underlying conductors. The cables are usually stripped during cutting with a cutting machine, while the wires are stripped either mechanically using appropriate stripping devices or manually with wire strippers.
Crimping tools Creating secure and permanent connections
Crimping tools are of central importance for the production of secure and durable connections in cable assembly. They are used to connect contacts to the wires in a gas-tight manner. These crimping tools are available as hand pliers, semi-automatic or fully automatic crimping machines.
Test equipment and test systems Ensuring product quality
Test equipment and test systems are used to check the electrical properties and functionality of manufactured cables and assemblies. This includes continuity tests and insulation tests. For components such as switches, a functional test is also performed. Modern test equipment often offers automated functions and comprehensive test reports, which enable rapid analysis of the results and increase efficiency in quality control.
Shrink oven and hot air blower Reliable insulation and mechanical strength
Shrink ovens and hot air blowers are used to shrink heat-shrink tubing over connections, providing robust insulation and mechanical strength. Modern shrink ovens and hot air blowers offer precise temperature control and are easy to operate, ensuring reliable insulation.
Safety equipment Protection against injuries and accidents
In an environment that involves sharp tools and electrical connections, the use of appropriate safety equipment is essential. This includes gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing that protect employees from injuries during cable assembly. This equipment minimizes the risk of cuts, eye damage, and other workplace accidents, contributing to a safe and productive work environment.
