Assembly in Action: Marine Analyzer Tests Uncharted Waters
Volvo Penta of the Americas (Chesapeake, VA) produces engines for commercial, leisure, industrial and racing boats. "The second largest warranty issue in the recreational boating industry is related to electrical wiring, only exceeded by the fiberglass, itself," says Bobby Henninger, director of new product development at Volvo Penta.
Cabletest Systems Inc. (Markham, ON, Canada) has addressed the marine industry’s wire testing requirements with its Horizon cable and harness tester. The cable and harness tester allows boat manufacturers like Volvo Penta to do in-process and final testing of electrical wiring harnesses as part of their manufacturing process.
