About this file

The document is a Salient Characteristics specification for a Wire Braider machine for the CFT Rewire Project. The specification details a stand-alone wire harness braiding machine with precise technical requirements, including a 24-carrier braiding head, a heavy-duty safety guard, and a maximum Horngear RPM of 260. Key technical specifications include an adjustable center tube to accommodate various wire harness diameters, variable machine speed with potentiometer control, and a foot pedal operational control.

The machine requires 110V, single-phase electrical input and features comprehensive safety systems such as overload detection, low voltage stop motion, and hazardous condition sensors. Additional requirements include an automatic lubrication system with low reservoir protection, sealed oil bath lubrication for critical components, and visual/audible alarm systems to alert operators of potential issues. These detailed specifications ensure precise wire braiding capabilities with robust safety and operational controls for manufacturing wire harnesses.

SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS

CFT Rewire Project: Wire Braider

1x Stand-alone wire harness braiding machine designed to apply wire materials on wire harnesses.

Requirements:

a. Carrier Configuration: 24-carrier braiding head.

b. Safety Guarding: Heavy-duty cover guard enclosing the braiding area for operator safety.

c. Braiding Speed: Maximum Horngear RPM: 260 RPM (minimum acceptable speed).

d. Adjustable Center Tube: Adjustable center tube to accommodate a range of wire harness diameters.

e. Speed Control:

Variable machine speed drive mechanism.

Speed adjustment via potentiometer control.

f. Operational Control: Foot pedal for machine operation.

g. Safety Systems:

Overload Detection: System to detect overload conditions (e.g., wire breakage, jamming).

Low Voltage Stop Motion: Automatic stop mechanism triggered by low voltage conditions.

Indication System: Visual and/or audible alarm system to alert the operator of overload and low voltage stop conditions.

h. Electrical Requirements: 110 V, Single Phase (1PH), 60 Hz.

i. Lubrication System:

Automatic lubrication system.

Low Reservoir Protection: Safety feature to prevent machine operation with a low lubricant reservoir.

j. Lubrication Type: Sealed oil bath lubrication system for critical components.

k. Hazardous Condition Detection: Safety guards equipped with sensors to detect hazardous conditions.
