About Kabelassistent – Digital Assembling Tools
Kabelassistent – Digital Assembling Tools is a sole proprietorship in Schliengen (Baden-Württemberg) that offers equipment, software and testing technology for wire harness production. The complete Kabelassistent system comprises the Kabelassistent W 12 software with integrated continuity testing, the system layout boards Devboard (for zero and small series with Panduit Quick-Build grid plates) and Prodboard (for series production), the mobile height-adjustable table Kabelporter, laser projection for displaying the wire routing path, the wire trolley Vario Trolley with mobile Pick-By-Light as well as the adapter kit Kitconnect for mating connectors of the testing technology. The light-guided routing process Harness-By-Light combines Pick-By-Light, Install-By-Light and Connect-By-Light; errors are detected directly during pinning. The entire control runs network-based via LAN or WLAN, so that production stations can be monitored online worldwide. The product range is complemented by 3D frames, Pinsplitter marshalling distribution boxes, Tabletstorch holders and an online shop with tools for wire harness production.
