Quality Harness and Cable Assembly for Demanding Industrial Applications

Cable harnesses and assemblies support a wide range of applications and industries. These assemblies and harnesses can be custom designed and manufactured, to meet the unique demands of each application. This has allowed researchers and collaborators to produce cable assemblies for the most demanding industrial systems and processes such as automation control and drive systems….

What Causes Intermittent Failure in Cable Assemblies?

In the earlier blog post, we explored the testing processes for intermittent failure. The two main types of test equipment discussed were PC-based and those operated via microprocessors. In this post, we will explore the causes for intermittent failure. Contact-to-Contact Failure The following contact-to-contact failures can be seen in cable assemblies: When tin or lead…

Automating the Wire Harness Assembly Process

Towards the end of the 20th century, most wire harnessing processes, including insertion of wires into the connectors and bundling of wires, were done manually. Due to the lack of wire harness assembly automation, the manufacturing process took longer than other cable assemblies. Depending on the complexity of the wire harness, production time spanned from…

The Benefits of Electro-mechanical Assembly Manufacturing

Electro-mechanical assembly manufacturing is a subdivision of Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS). These are designed to support all stages of turnkey manufacturing, from prototyping to production. As a leading electro-mechanical assembly manufacturer, Carr Mfg. Company has the capabilities to produce a variety of assemblies. These include box-builds, daughter cards, custom cable assemblies, printed circuit boards, and…

An Overview of Cable Assembly Testing

Cable assembly testing is a detailed process, where the product is put through various tests to check whether it meets or exceeds the application’s requirements and specifications. In this post, we shall take a look at some common cable testing processes. Types of Cable Assembly Testing Cable assemblies can be designed to meet either the…

Understanding the Benefits of RoHS Compliance

In cable assembly manufacturing, one of the most important certifications is RoHS. While most understand that it is a manufacturing certification, many customers do not know the details and benefits of RoHS compliance. To pass on the information, we are providing this blog. What is RoHS? RoHS is a European Union (EU) directive, which was…

An Overview of Insulating Materials Supporting Industrial Cable Assemblies

Industrial cable assemblies are ought to operate under high stress conditions, containing elevated temperatures, dust, moisture content, harsh chemicals and solvents. To withstand all these unfavorable industrial conditions, individual cables must be insulated in an assembly. A good insulation not only protects cable assemblies from the harshest environments, but also enhances their service life. This…
