Introduction to Cable Manufacturing Process Flow

1、 Process characteristics of manufacturing wire and cable products:

1. Large length continuous stacking combination production method

The impact of the long continuous stacking combination production method on the production of wires and cables is global and controllable, which involves and affects:

(1) Production process flow and equipment layout

All kinds of equipment in the production workshop must be reasonably discharged according to the required process flow of the product, so that the semi-finished products in each stage can be circulated in sequence. Equipment configuration should consider the balance of production capacity based on different production efficiencies. Some equipment may require the configuration of two or more units in order to balance the production capacity of the production line. Therefore, the reasonable selection and combination of equipment and the layout of production sites must be balanced and comprehensively considered based on the product and production volume.

(2) Production organization management

Production organization management must be scientific, reasonable, meticulous, accurate, and strictly detailed. Operators must strictly follow the process requirements. Any problem in any link will affect the smoothness of the process flow, the quality and delivery of products. Especially for multi-core cables, if a pair of wires or a basic unit is short in length, or if there is a quality issue, the entire cable will not be long enough, resulting in scrap. On the contrary, if a unit is too long, it must be sawed off, causing waste.

(3) Quality Management

The production method of continuous stacking and combination of large lengths can affect the quality of the entire cable if any problem occurs in any link or instant during the production process. The more quality defects occur in the inner layer and are not detected and terminated in a timely manner, the greater the losses caused. Because the production of wires and cables is different from assembled products, they can be disassembled, reassembled, and replaced with other parts; Any quality issue with any component or process of a wire or cable is almost irreparable and irreparable for that cable. The handling afterwards is very negative, either cutting short or downgrading, or scrapping the entire cable. It cannot be disassembled and reinstalled.

The quality management of wires and cables must be integrated throughout the entire production process. The quality management inspection department should conduct patrol inspections of the entire production process, self inspections by operators, and mutual inspections between upper and lower processes. This is an important guarantee and means to ensure product quality and improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise
