An electrical wiring harness: the solution for easier electrical installation
The electrical wiring harness, for a ready-to-install system
An electrical wiring harness is a pre-wired electrical installation with the advantage of being ready to install in a detached house or flat. It distributes power supplies to all sockets, lighting points and switches. Its design requires the expertise of an electrical wiring harness manufacturer and is entrusted to a design office, which prepares the plan according to the building’s layout and specific features. Once the plan has been produced, the electrical wiring harness is manufactured in a workshop where wires and cables are inserted and assembled inside conduits. It is then delivered to the worksite where it will be installed in its final position.
The advantages of an electrical wiring harness
Producing an electrical wiring harness makes it possible to create a customised bundle of wires adapted to the application’s specific requirements. It can help organise wires and connections more effectively in an electrical installation, making subsequent maintenance and troubleshooting easier. An electrical wiring harness also saves time by assembling several wires in a single operation rather than handling each wire individually.
A production operation that can cause difficulties
Producing an electrical wiring harness requires wires and cables to be passed through a conduit. This stage is particularly tedious: the conduit may be narrow compared with the size of the wires, making them difficult to pass through. If the conduit is very long, keeping the wires and cables in place while moving them through the conduit can become a real headache. This can lead to tangles and knots and make the process even more difficult. It is important to take your time to avoid damaging the wires.
The pre-wiring machine: a considerable time saving for electrical wiring harness manufacturers
The pre-wiring machine for automating wire insertion
The pre-wiring machine is an automated system that inserts electrical wires into a conduit without requiring human intervention. It offers several advantages: it prepares the wires in advance, saving time during electrical wiring harness production. By quickly preparing a large number of wires, the pre-wiring machine increases the production capacity of electrical wiring harness manufacturers: its operating speed can be 5 x faster than manual pre-wiring. In addition, these machines are designed to prepare wires with great precision, reducing wiring errors and improving the quality of the electrical wiring harness.
The pre-wiring machine is simple to install and use: it can be positioned in 1 hour, without needing to be fixed to the floor. Its intuitive interface can be learned in 30 minutes. Using a pre-wiring machine also reduces labour costs by reducing the time and effort required to prepare wires, while also protecting operators from the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
Autonomous pre-wiring through optimised workshop layout
By complementing a pre-wiring machine with dispensers, whether for wires or conduits, electrical wiring harness production moves further towards an autonomous insertion process. A wire dispenser saves even more time by preventing tangles. A conduit dispenser also optimises the process by preventing accidental unwinding, for example.
