Custom Tooling and Fixtures for Wire Harness Manufacturing
As a specialized wire harness tooling provider, OurPCB designs and builds custom fixtures for efficient wire harness and cable assembly manufacturing. Our tooling capabilities include assembly boards, test fixtures, crimp applicators, and inspection gauges.
Assembly boards (harness boards) hold harnesses in position during production, ensuring consistent builds and efficient operator workflow. Custom board design accommodates complex routing for automotive and industrial harnesses. Poka-yoke features prevent assembly errors.
Test fixtures interface harness connectors to testing equipment for automated continuity and hipot testing. Crimp applicators ensure proper terminal crimping with validated settings. Pull force testing verifies crimp quality.
Mold tooling for overmolding applications is designed and manufactured per product requirements. In-house fabrication using wood, metal, plastic, and 3D printing enables 2-6 week typical lead times. CAD-based design ensures precision fit.
Tooling maintenance programs keep fixtures in optimal condition. Legacy tooling support helps transition production from other suppliers. Our engineering team collaborates on fixture design for ISO 9001 manufacturing excellence. Contact us to discuss custom tooling for your harness production.
Tooling FAQ
Yes, we design and build custom assembly boards (harness boards) for wire harness production. These boards hold the harness in position during assembly, ensuring consistent builds and efficient operator workflow.
We develop custom test fixtures that interface your harness connectors to our test equipment. These fixtures enable automated continuity and Hi-Pot testing for efficient quality verification.
We maintain applicators for common terminal types and can procure or develop applicators for new terminals. Applicators are set up and validated to ensure proper crimp quality.
Simple fixtures may take 1-2 weeks. Complex assembly boards or test fixtures typically take 3-6 weeks. We can often expedite for urgent projects. Lead time is confirmed during quotation.
