Why Custom Wire Harnesses Are Critical

Without the circulatory system, every single other facet of the human body would be useless.

The same goes for a functional cable assembly when dealing with any type of advanced

electronic machinery. The finest machine, the most complex mechanical components, and the

most advanced materials around are nothing but a pile of inoperative paperweights without cable

wires doing their job.

For some simpler machinery with limited functions, readymade cable electronics may be

sufficient. However, for the more advanced fields -- everything from medicine to the military --

custom cable assemblies are a must. Only when circuit board assemblies and cable wire

assemblies have been created for the specific type of machinery in consideration can its operator

rest assured that they will have full functional control of that device. This holds as true for the

soldier operating a heavy weapon, such as a main battle tank, as it does for the doctor relying on

a highly sensitive robotically controlled arm to aid in a delicate surgery. With a custom cable

assembly, the person operating a machine knows that every single intended facet of said

machinery will function as it must.

What’s More, Custom Cable Assemblies Are Affordable

The perception that a custom printed circuit board assembly or tailor-made cable wires are

prohibitively expensive is wildly inaccurate. A skilled cable assembly manufacturer can either

reverse engineer an existing cable assembly to recreate it, or else design from scratch a new box

build that will function perfectly for extant machinery. The “blueprint” for cable assemblies for

devices needing wiring and circuitry repairs, replacements, or re-designs are unlocked by

studying the mechanism itself. Likewise, for brand new machinery, designing a custom cable

assembly is a one-time investment which, once made, can then lead to rapid and inexpensive

replication of that same design for multiple devices.

Don’t Design Your Machine Around Your Assembly

It is an all-too-common error in the machinist world to look for existing circuit board assemblies

and wire assemblies while designing a device and to limit the design process based on the

limitations of the wiring and circuitry available. With custom cables and circuit designs, you can

put the electronics to work for your design no matter how complex and unique your machinery

may be.

When an industrial design professional sets out to create a new device, he or she should follow

the vision of making the best product possible without worrying about how the wiring and

circuitry will affect their plans. The fact is that a wire harness can be created for just about any

machine or device, no matter how small and delicate or immense and intricate it may be. Indeed,

everything from small handheld electronic device to the largest jumbo jet-style aircraft rely on

immensely complex cable assemblies that were once the problem of the design team, but today

are merely a matter of occasional maintenance.

Summary

Custom cable and circuit board assemblies guarantee the best functionality out of finished

mechanical devices and lead to safer, more reliable, and more durable equipment than can be

achieved with readymade wiring and circuitry.
