1. Wire Core Manufacturing

Extrusion Line – For coating the conductive core (usually copper, stainless steel, or carbon fiber) with insulation material (e.g., silicone, EPDM, or PTFE).

Resistance Testing Machine – To measure the electrical resistance of the wire core.

2. Insulation & Sheathing

Secondary Extrusion Machine – Applies an outer insulating layer (often silicone rubber) for heat and abrasion resistance.

RF (Radio Frequency) Curing System – For vulcanizing silicone insulation to enhance durability.

3. Terminal & Connector Assembly

Crimping Machine – Attaches metal terminals (boots, contacts, or spark plug connectors) to the wire ends.

Heat Shrink Tunnel – Applies heat-shrink tubing to seal connections.

Soldering Equipment (Optional) – For some high-performance applications where soldered connections are required.

4. Electromagnetic Shielding (For Suppression Wires)

Braid Machine – Applies a woven metal (e.g., copper or tin-plated) shielding layer to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Foil Wrapping Machine (Alternative) – For spiral-wound or foil-based shielding.

5. Quality Control & Testing

High-Voltage Tester – Checks insulation integrity under high-voltage conditions.

Continuity Tester – Ensures proper electrical conductivity.

Pull Tester – Verifies terminal crimp strength.

Environmental Test Chamber – Assesses heat, cold, and moisture resistance.

6. Final Assembly & Packaging

Cutting Machine – Trims wires to specified lengths.

Labeling & Printing Machine – Marks wire specifications (e.g., resistance, part number).

Coiling/Packaging Machine – Prepares finished wires for distribution.
