For an array of manufacturing, industrial, and construction equipment, there are multiple electronic controls that work simultaneously to serve various functions. In order to power the features on your equipment, a variety of cables and wires are required. If your equipment is in use with multiple loose wires hanging around, the possibility of one catching in the system or being damaged goes up significantly. For that reason, using a wire harness, or wire assembly can help you concentrate all your wires to one uniform piece, often using rubber or vinyl as a protective casing. When looking for a wire harness supplier, make sure you look for one with experience working with a variety of types and sizes of equipment. The depth and breadth of their manufacturing experience is one of the most important factors to consider.
Consider a piece of equipment or machinery that has a great degree of movement. Since the different parts of the machine are connected through cables, and continuously in motion, the cables must be sized at a slightly longer length than the degree of motion. This is necessary to prevent any breaking of the wires, but could potentially be caught in a moving part if not properly protected. Cable harnesses help ensure every cable is combined into a high-strength, highly maneuverable piece that can withstand any adverse manufacturing conditions without being negatively effected. Applications like construction equipment especially benefit from cable harnesses, as they help keep the equipment agile and mobile, while also protecting many of the equipment’s valuable electronic components. For a majority of large pieces of moving equipment, cable harnesses help maintain the longevity of your equipment.
