Low-Load Design Assembly

Light assembly in low-load designs focuses on assembling mechanical or electromechanical parts that don’t experience heavy forces or high torque. The components are often small, with minimal structural loading. Key priorities include precision alignment, secure but lightweight fastening, and careful material handling to prevent stress on delicate parts.

Small and Precise Controls Assembly

This type of light assembly emphasizes very fine control mechanisms where smooth, precise motion is critical. Cablecraft may assemble small control cables, detent mechanisms, or torque-limiting systems with tight tolerances. Assembly processes often include functional testing for smooth travel, tactile feedback, or precise force characteristics.

Weight-Sensitive Environments

In these assemblies, every gram matters. Cablecraft’s light assembly capabilities allow for integration of custom lightweight materials (aluminum, engineered plastics, composites), along with careful routing and compact packaging of cables, linkages, or motion assemblies to minimize mass while maintaining functionality.

High-Mix/Custom Assembly

Light assembly in this context supports many unique part numbers with small batch sizes. Operators quickly switch setups to handle custom cables, controls, or mechanical assemblies for diverse customers. Process repeatability and rapid fixture changeover are key.
