How do you ensure that series production matches the sample?

Depending on project requirements, at approval we prepare first article inspection reports (FAI reports) and retain golden samples for long-term quality assurance. In production, defined testing and approval processes support reproducible series quality – depending on the product, electrically, for example, with pin-to-pin connection tests and surge voltage tests, and mechanically with torsion and bending tests, including under climatic conditions.

Do you supply cable harnesses made to our drawing?

Yes. From a single connection cable to a complete cable harness, our audited production network makes it to your drawing. We also integrate customer-supplied components as part of assembly. We use connectors to industry standard, as complementary types or as individual custom designs, for example plugs and sockets with a quick-lock mechanism.

How predictable is resupply over the service life of a plant?

We support custom cable assemblies throughout the entire product life cycle. Framework agreements with flexible call-offs from our central warehouse in Halle (Westfalen) give you planning security, complemented by on-time delivery and comprehensive after-sales support. Our production network minimises production risks through diversification, and retained golden samples serve long-term quality assurance.
