CABLE TESTING
Using the Cirris CH+ Harness Testing
Using the Cirris easy-wire CR
As military standards fell by the wayside throughout much of the '90s, industry found itself without a universal standard against which to measure quality. Recently, a new standard, the IPC/WHMA-A-620, has been published. Qualastat has been recognized by the WHMA (Wire Harness Manufacturers Association) organization for its support in the development of this document. Furthermore, Qualastat's President, Vernon Judy Sr., has been recognized by both IPC and WHMA for his leadership in this document's development. Vernon is considered to be an expert on this document has been asked by a number of trade organizations to present the IPC/WHMA-A-620. By using the Cirris CH+, Qualastat has the ability to test up to 5,376 points at voltages up to 1500 VDC and 1000 VAC. Qualastat is able to test for continuity, insulation, dielectric, and capacitance. Using either a golden cable or by plugging in test points manually, Qualastat has the ability to save the test program for repeat business. In addition, test harness assemblies are catalogued and saved for the next time an order is placed. Qualastat tests every point on harness assemblies directly on the forming board. By connecting each forming board to the easy-wire CR, harnesses can be tested on the assembly floor by simply pulling up the required test program. Testing with this method enables Qualastat to keep costs down by having harness operators test product from their work stations without having to traffic them to a QC department. Qualastat's quality control system is tailored to MIL-I-45208A. This military standard is more rigid than most commercial quality systems and is a great supplement to the IPC/WHMA-A-620. Test equipment is maintained according to ANSI/NCSL2540-1-1994 through the use of an outside calibration service.
