The Automotive Wiring Harness factory is mainly responsible for processing "wires, terminals, connectors, sheaths, fixings" and other components into vehicle-ready Wiring Harness assemblies, and ensuring electrical performance, appearance and assembly consistency.
1. Typical process flow
Incoming material inspection → Wire cutting/striping/numbering → Terminal crimping/welding → Connector insertion and locking → Bandaging and protection (tape, corrugated pipe, network pipe, etc.) → Assembly and molding (tooling board) → Testing (continuity/short circuit/insulation, etc.) → Final inspection and packaging.
2. Common equipment
Wire cutting and stripping machines, terminal crimping machines (including molds), terminal inspection/tension machines, Wiring Harness test benches, heat shrink equipment, inkjet coding/thermal printing machines, and various assembly tooling boards and positioning jigs.
3. Key points of quality control
1) Crimping quality: height/tension/section; 2) Insertion accuracy: pin position, anti-retreat and secondary lock; 3) Appearance and direction: fixed point, bending radius, anti-wear; 4) Waterproofing and sealing: seals are assembled in place; 5) Testing and traceability: key process records can be traced.
4. What usually needs to be provided for customer customization?
Drawings or pin position tables, wire gauge and length, tolerance requirements, usage environment (temperature/oil/vibration), assembly space and fixing points, and testing/packaging requirements.The more complete the information, the more stable the delivery.
Conclusion
What Wiring Harness Factory does is not as simple as "connecting wires", but through standardized processes and quality systems, it turns complex electrical connections into reliable products that can be delivered on a large scale.
