Assuring Wire End Quality by Michael Reeve. Wire processing involves high speed precision cutting and stripping, and often the placement of a weather seal onto the wire before the terminal is applied. Failing to ensure absolute quality through every step of this high speed process can result in significant penalties, containment, reduced profits, or loss of business. Providing this type of critical quality assurance at ‘parts per second’ speed for ‘pennies per part’ prices poses a significant challenge. To accomplish this, leading wire harness manufacturers are employing 2 completely different quality assurance methods to assure the quality expected by their customers. The first can be considered a ‘process variation monitor’, and the other can be considered as a ‘post-process inspection device’. Click Here to view a pdf of the entire article.
