Cable/Harness Testing Made Easy.

Mistake-proofing the production process is critical in lean manufacturing. It helps eliminate rework and production delays that are caused by assembly defects. Our newsletter this month suggests ways to error-proof your harness assembly process using guided assembly and test-as-you-build methods, and also includes information on a variety of sources for harness board components.

If you have any questions or comments, call us at 1-800-441-9910.

Although testing a harness on the build-board immediately after assembly is better than an end of line test, the ideal is to test during the assembly process. Testing during assembly not only eliminates wiring errors, it can also speed up assembly by guiding the assembler though the process. View our video this month on using easy-wire CR testers for guided harness assembly and test.

Guided assembly makes harness building easy.

Building harness boards? Looking for harness board nails or other components? Often when wiring boards for test the challenge is how to connect to loose wires. Sometimes wires in an assembly are neither terminated nor stripped. Some mating connectors have very low mating cycles while others don't even have a mate. How do you manage transition wiring between many mating connectors on the harness board to fewer connectors from the tester? We have organized web links and contact information for many of the harness board components that we know of. See them at:
