Automation & Tooling

IMPROVE QUALITY AND YIELD WITH

Automation to Improve Quality and Reduce Cost

Compulink has long term relationships with the industry’s leading providers of wire and cable processing machines, automated crimp tooling, insert molding, and ultrasonic welding. We specify, obtain, and optimize tooling from companies like Schleuniger®, Komax, Tyco, and Molex®. We have the capability to automate wire marking, labeling, and packaging.

Automated tooling reduces cost and improves quality, efficiency, and yield. It optimizes product manufacturability, capacity, and repeatability of process. We have the capability to automatically verify crimp quality with microprocessor-based crimp force monitoring.

Many Industry Standard Crimp Applicators Are In Stock

Compulink has manufactured cable and harness assemblies since 1984. We have automated equipment, semi-automated and crimp applicators in stock for many standard terminals, contacts, and splices on the market today plus many unique applications. Our extensive tooling library may be of assistance in bringing your new product design to market quickly as we may be currently tooled for your application.

UV Laser-Wire Marking for Thin Wall Aerospace Wires

Compulink can UV laser mark, measure and cut thin wall single core and multicore cables from 26 AWG to 6 AWG for the aerospace market. Our Capris model 50-100 provides ultraviolet wire marking without insulation damage that is resistant to abrasion, hydraulic fluid, and fuel. The highly legible print can be applied both horizontally and vertically in three sizes and it is fully compliant to SAE ARP 5607 “Legibility of Print on Aerospace Wires and Cables.”

Laser-Wire Stripping With Schleuniger Mercury-4

Our Schleuniger Mercury-4 laser wire stripping machine provides for high quality, nick-free stripping of small gauge conductors, shielded cables, twisted pairs and coaxial cables from 50 AWG to 6 AWG. The Mercury-4 provides for touch-free stripping of all polymer materials to include PTFE / Teflon, Tefzel, PVC, Polyurethane, Silicon, Kapton, Polyimide, Nylon, and Polyester.

Strip types such as circumferential, linear slit, ablation, and pattern strips can be accomplished through touchscreen programming of relevant parameters such as strip length, speed, and laser power. These parameters are automatically stored in the library for future production and process requirements. All process steps can be monitored through a fixed camera system.
