Molex HFM Cable Assembly Manufacturing Strategy

Investing In Automation


Molex HFM Cable Assembly Process Highly automated cable assembly process: All components on a reel and fed into machine Exact reference points created so have 100% controlled parameters Simple, separate fully controllable and reproducible process steps

1. Semi-strip outer jacket

2. Crimp support sleeve & remove outer jacket

4. Strip dielectric & foil

3. Open braid shield & fold back

5. Crimp center contact

6. Vision check

7. Assemble & crimp outer contact
