Cable Assembler

Principally responsible for the assembly of cables and modules in accordance with exacting design specifications.

- Coaxial cables (many different size and connectors, flex and solid center conductors)

- Industrial automation connectors (panel connectors and ferrules, drive connectors, motor connectors, cutting and terminating equipment)

- MS connectors (all kinds of variations and sealing operations)

- Commercial electronics connectors (mini and micro fit on medium speed termination equipment)

- Hi flex cable assemblies (WL Gore / LEONI cores and PTFE sleeves with heat-shrink and special clamps)

Soldering irons, soldering aids, cutters, long nose and grip ring pliers, wire strippers, nut drivers, rivet guns, open and box end wrenches, luggers, screwdrivers, component bending tools, torches, vacuum equipment, RF induction heating equipment, cold test equipment, spot welding, laser welding and heliarc welding equipment, brazing equipment, measuring calipers, voltmeters, electronic multi-meter, heat guns, glue guns, tie wrap guns, crimpers, crimping machines, etc.

- Fabricates and tests cable assemblies following blueprints specifications, using measuring instruments, hand tools, and machines.

- Reads and interprets blueprints, work orders and specifications to define sequence of operations, type & size of cable fittings required, quantity and finished dimensions.

- Measures & cuts cable to required length, considering cable stretch metal flow resulting from swaging operations, using cable cutter or saw.

- Selects installs dies, jigs, shims, or other accessories in swaging machine, using hand tools.

- Positions fitting cable between dies of swaging machine and depresses pedal to activate machine that swages fittings onto cable, turning cable assembly by hand as fitting is swaged onto cable.
