Wire Harness, Cable & Electromechanical Assembly worked example

Cable Bend Radius Check at 99% inspection station uptime: a worked example

This scenario runs the cable bend radius check calculation on the strong side: 99% inspection station uptime, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when cable bend radius check in wire harness, cable and electromechanical assembly is being asked to take on more work and you need to know if there is room.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Cables checked per inspection cycle: 4 units / cycle (unchanged)
  • Available inspection cycles in the window: 480 cycles (unchanged)
  • Inspection station uptime: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)
  • First-pass bend-radius pass rate: 97 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross cable bend radius check capacity = cable bend radius check output per cycle × available cable bend radius check cycles) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,844 units for good cable bend radius check capacity, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,920 units for gross cable bend radius check capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 19.2 units for cable bend radius check downtime loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 57.02 units for cable bend radius check yield loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where inspection station uptime sits at 90% and the headline result is 1,676 units, this scenario comes in 10% above the baseline at 1,844 units.
  • Use it when staffing a bend-radius inspection station, setting takt for a routed-harness program, or costing the throughput hit of a routing problem upstream. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Good cable bend radius check capacity: 1,844 units (headline result)
  • Gross cable bend radius check capacity: 1,920 units
  • Cable bend radius check downtime loss: 19.2 units
  • Cable bend radius check yield loss: 57.02 units

Run it with your numbers

  • Every input above is editable in the live Cable Bend Radius Check calculator, which recalculates instantly and can be shared with the inputs intact.
