Wire Harness Processing: Simple Change for Big Gain

ASM implemented multiple BOSTONtec electric height adjustable tilting workstations in late 2017. The units allow processors to raise the board from 36 to 62 inches at the press of a button. The tilt mechanism provides positioning of 0-degrees (horizontal) to 90-degrees (vertical). The stations expand to handle wire harness boards up to 48 inches deep and 96 inches wide. Multiple units can be linked together to accommodate larger boards. ASM manufacturing technician, Tim McKenzie notes, “We wire harnesses from 20 to 100 feet long. With multiple stations we have the flexibility of setting two stations side-by-side for longer jobs when needed.”
