Automotive Wiring Harness Channels

SPIROL Engineers reviewed their installation process and recommended the Model CL Compression Limiter Installation Machine. The Model CL was designed with multiple fixture cavities. Each cavity accommodates and securely holds the harness channels at the proper height and orientation for Compression Limiter installation. The operator simply loads the wiring harness assembly into the proper fixture location using the fixture cut-out as a guide. Each installation hole is loaded over a guidepost to ensure proper hole location, alignment and support throughout the installation process. The operator then manually loads a Compression Limiter onto each post. Once all components are loaded, the fixture plate is moved into the work zone and locks in place. The machine is activated and the top platen advances downward simultaneously installing all Compression Limiters. Upon verification that the installation cycle has completed and all Compression Limiters are sensed as installed, the machine retracts, the fixture is unlocked and the completed assemblies removed.

SPIROL delivered the complete assembly solution by providing the Compression Limiters and Installation Machine. The Model CL significantly increased productivity, improved product quality, and eliminated scrap associated with the customers original manual installation process.
