3.8 INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS :: WIRE HARNESS

The Cable & Wire Harnessing division manufactures of Wiring Harness, Battery Cables

and Small Control Panels. Located at Silvassa, Gujarat, we possess a panel of experienced

personnel which provides with quality solutions. Our production team has successfully

manufactured quality wiring harness for Blue Star, Voltas, Carrier and other OEM for the

air conditioning segment. One of our major achievements is the manufacturing of export

quality harness using UL and CE grade materials. Of late, we are under process of

developing diverse range of harness and battery cables for reputed organisations like

Emerson Network Power among others.


29/57

A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring

loom, is a string of cables and/or wires which transmit informational signals or operating

currents (energy). The cables are bound together by clamps, cable ties, cable lacing,

sleeves, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a combination thereof.

Commonly used in automobiles, as well as construction machinery, modern-day cable

harnesses provide several advantages over loose wires and cables. For example, many

aircraft, automobiles and spacecraft contain many masses of wires which would stretch

over several kilometres if fully extended. By binding the many wires and cables into a

cable harness, the wires and cables can be better secured against the adverse effects of

vibrations, abrasions, and moisture. By constricting the wires into a non-flexing bundle,usage of space is optimized, and the risk of a short is decreased. Since the installer has only

one harness to install (as opposed to multiple wires), installation time is decreased and the

process can be easily standardized. Binding the wires into a flame-retardant sleeve also

lowers the risk of electrical fires.

3.9 PRODUCTION

Cable harnesses are usually designed according to geometric and electrical requirements. A

diagram is then provided (either on paper or on a monitor) for the assembly preparation

and assembly.

The wires are first cut to the desired length, usually using a special wire-cutting machine.

The wires may also be printed on by a special machine during the cutting process or on a

separate machine. After this, the ends of the wires are stripped to expose the metal (or

core) of the wires, which are fitted with any required terminalsand/or connector housings.

The cables are assembled and clamped together on a special workbench, or onto a pin

board (assembly board), according to the design specification, to form the cable harness.

After fitting any protective sleeves, conduit, or extruded yarn, the harness is either fitted

directly in the vehicle or shipped.

In spite of increasing automation, in general, cable harnesses continue to be manufactured

by hand, and this will likely remain the case for the foreseeable future. In part, this is due

to the many different processes involved, such as:

Routing wires through sleeves, Taping with fabric tape, in particular on branch outs from wire strands,


30/57

crimping Terminals onto wires, particularly for so-called multiple crimps (more than one

wire into one terminal),

Inserting one sleeve into another, Fastening strands with tape, clamps or cable ties.

It is clearly difficult to automate these processes. In spite of this, these processes can be

learned relatively quickly, even without professional qualifications. Thus, manual

production remains more cost effective than automation. For certain vehicles, such as

trucks, there are also a large number of variants (due to different configurations and the

length of the vehicles), which produce very small batch sizes (as low as one). However, the

number of variants has been decreasing in recent years due to the use ofdata bus

technology, such as a CAN bus, in conjunction with intelligent control units. In spite of

this, different variants are produced on the same assembly board. Even here, man has an

advantage over machine, since he can change over to the different variants (no "re-

programming" being required).

3.10 PRE-PRODUCTION

Pre-production, however, can be automated in part. This affects:

Cutting individual wires (cutting machine), Crimping terminals onto one or both sides of the wire, Partial plugging of wires prefitted with terminals into connector housings (module), soldering


31/57

Of wire ends (solder machine), and Twisting Wires.

Testing the electrical functionality of a cable harness can be done with the aid of a test

latent market. Any such activity in the environment that helps the organization to grow is

an opportunity for it.

The threats to an organization can be a new competitor in the market, price reduction in the

competitors product or a new product introduced in the market that will eat info the

companys market share. These are some of the threats to an organization. Theorganization should constantly keep a watchful eye on the market so that in can analyze the
