What Challenges Are Faced In Handling Aerospace Cable Assemblies? Cable assemblies used for aerospace and other similar applications are complex and require to face numerous challenges. Aerospace cable assemblies are large, complex, heavy, and contain hundreds of components and multiple breakouts. But, successful aerospace cable assemblies in India are also reliable, and are able to withstand extreme environmental and operating conditions. To meet all of these criteria, manufacturers need to be qualified, diligent, and capable to use the proper tools, while staying aware of the latest technologies, and staying compliant with the most current standards and requirements. Earlier, a few decades ago, aircraft manufacturers disassembled and repaired most of the cable assemblies in-house. But today, most manufacturers outsource the creation, testing, and repairs of cable assemblies. This brings unique challenges for assembly manufacturers to repair assemblies that they haven’t manufactured. In such cases, they are reliant on the documentation provided by the manufacturer who has constructed the assembly. This is why the original cable assembly manufacturer is required to create designed engineering representative repairs, which determines if the assembly is repairable in the first place. And, if it is, they develop a component maintenance manual on how to perform the repairs. Despite all of this, the fact remains that manufacturing an aerospace cable assembly is a manual assembly process. There is a two month training program that teaches assemblers the practices of the company where they are assembling, after which additional training is provided for the specific requirements of the customer. Every cable assembly has its own variation and uniqueness, which is why assemblers must be trained to become familiar with every cable assembly type. Aerospace cable assemblies in India are also difficult to test and remove, which is why assemblers are trained for the same with portable computerized test equipment. These testers easily connect to the engine fan case assembly, while providing quick and accurate test results, and ensuring that the assembly meets
the manufacturer’s component maintenance manual requirements. In this way, testing eliminated unnecessary assembly replacements, thus saving labour costs and aircraft downtime. More the number of connections, more complex the aerospace electrical system; and the cable assemblies are required to keep up with these complexities. It could be more than 100 feet long assemblies with almost 100 branches, multiple branches being fed from a single breakout point. There could be thousands of connection points within a single assembly. Imagine the amount of time and effort required to test an assembly with these thousands of connectors! There could also be a requirement of 3D assembly boards. With all of this in mind, you need a cable assembly manufacturer who can assist you with all these processes. You never know what you could need in the future.
