Electrical cable assembler - Which skills are essential?
Apply and work with a variety of techniques in the process of soldering, such as soft soldering, silver soldering, induction soldering, resistance soldering, pipe soldering, mechanical and aluminium soldering.
Apply wire markers and cable labels to identify and organise the wire. Use tie-wrap or cable lace to keep the wires together.
Prepare and apply coating, such as conformal coating, to electrical equipment and its components to protect the equipment against moisture, high temperature, and dust.
Read and interpret drawings listing all the parts and subassemblies of a certain product. The drawing identifies the different components and materials and provides instructions on how to assemble a product.
Identify operating problems, decide what to do about it and report accordingly.
Operate measurement instruments to measure parts of manufactured objects. Take into consideration specifications of manufacturers to perform the measuring.
Fasten and insulate electric or communications wires or cables.
The assembly processes and manufacturing steps taken to fabricate insulated electrical wire and cable, made from steel, copper, or aluminium.
Electrical wire and cable products and accessories, such as electrical connectors, splices, and wire insulation.
Align and lay out components in order to put them together correctly according to blueprints and technical plans.
Use tools to manipulate wire which will be used for electrical purposes, such as wire strippers, crimpers, soldering irons, torque wrenches, and heat guns.
Operate machinery or use hand tools to cut wire.
Bind cables or wire together using cable ties, conduit, cable lacing, sleeves, spot ties, cable clamps, or straps.
The national and international requirements, specifications and guidelines to ensure that products, services and processes are of good quality and fit for purpose.
Ensure operative processes are finished at a previously agreed-upon time.
Strip the wire ends using wire strippers to ensure proper connections.
Attach the electrical connector to the wire using crimping tools. Here the connector and the wire are joined together by deforming one or both so they fit into each other. The electrical connector may connect the wire to an electrical terminal or may join two lengths of wire together.
The visual schematic representation of an electrical circuit, its components, and the connections between these components.
Ensure that the assembled products are conform to the specifications given.
Use soldering equipment, such as a soldering gun, a soldering torch or a gas-powered iron, to melt and join together pieces of metal or steel.
Electrical cable assembler - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Use various techniques to ensure the product quality is respecting the quality standards and specifications. Oversee defects, packaging and sendbacks of products to different production departments.
Identify, report and repair equipment damage and malfunctions; communicate with field representatives and manufacturers to obtain repair and replacement components.
The national and international regulations with regards to the use and manufacture of electrical equipment on the workfloor. These regulations provide rules and guidelines on topics such as general risk management, electrical equipment manufacture, electrical equipment testing, electrical equipment installation, warning labels, and certificates.
Test electrical equipment for malfunctions. Take safety measures, company guidelines, and legislation concerning electrical equipment into account. Clean, repair and replace parts and connections as required.
Understand electrical engineering, a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
Ensure that the processes of packing, storage and shipment of finished products meet the requirements.
Dispose of dangerous materials such as chemical or radioactive substances according to environmental and to health and safety regulations.
Join and weave electric and communications cable and trunk lines together.
Wind wires into a wire coil. Wire coils can be used in electrical devices as inductors, transformers, or electromagnets.
Check the printed circuit board for solder defects and make adjustments as required.
Use of a variety of specialised tools, instruments and machines, such as presses, drills and grinders; employ them to carry out repairs in a safety manner.
Wear relevant and necessary protective gear, such as protective goggles or other eye protection, hard hats, safety gloves.
The compliance with safety measures which need to be taken during the installation, operation, and maintenance of constructions and equipment which function in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power, such as the appropriate safety gear, equipment handling procedures, and preventive actions.
Be able to use wire hand tools, such as crimp tools, cable strippers, and cable cutters.
Be able to use wire processing machines, such as wire cutting machines, wire crimping machines, and wire stripping machines.
Remove defective parts and replace them with functioning components.
Examine cables and lines to detect possible breakage or damage.
Devices that are able to open and close electrical circuits, such as disconnecting switches, interrupter switches, and circuit breakers.
Operate machinery or use handtools to cut and bend wire to form parts.
Maintain required company records and forms in order to report any defective materials or questionable conditions of manufacturing machinery and equipment.
Find faults in wires or cables by using specialised equipment and repair these faults depending on type of wiring.
Explain technical details to non-technical customers, stakeholders, or any other interested parties in a clear and concise manner.
Understand the principles of electricity and electrical power circuits, as well as the associated risks.
Maintain records of the progress of the work including time, defects, malfunctions, etc.
Regulate and monitor the manufacturing equipment settings and process parameters, such as its temperature and power level. Review the manufacturing process and equipment and suggest improvements.
Subdiscipline of energy and electrical engineering which specialises in the generation, transmission, distribution, and usage of electrical power through the connection of electrical devices to motors, generators, and transformers, such as an AC-DC power adapter.
The technology which utilises optical fibre, such as plastic or glass threads, to transmit data. Optical fibres are able to transmit light between the two ends of the fibre and may transfer images and messages modulated onto light waves. Fibre optic cables have increased in popularity because of their possibility to transfer data over long distances at higher bandwidths and with lesser amounts of interference than metal cables.
