High Quality Cable And Wire Harness Assembly
EMS, Inc. is known for making high-quality wire and cable assemblies for many industries. We provide both small and large production runs, offering custom solutions for industrial cables, OEM cables, and unique assemblies.
Located in northwest Arkansas, EMS’s advanced facility is fully equipped to manage high and low volume custom orders, utilizing automated and semi-automated equipment to process various types of wire and insulation. By offering integrated manufacturing solutions, EMS aims to reduce risks associated with standalone providers while enhancing performance and simplifying the overall process.
Need only a few prototypes or niche cables? No problem. EMS specializes in small runs that offer flexibility and quick turnaround times. This is perfect for testing new products or small batches. Small production runs save you money while ensuring high quality.
When big orders come in, EMS can scale up easily. We have the capacity for mass production without sacrificing quality. Our manufacturing processes are designed to be efficient, reducing costs and meeting tight deadlines.
EMS works closely with clients from the start. We offer design support, helping create cables that are both reliable and easy to produce. This collaboration ensures that every cable is tailored to specific applications, whether it is for extreme environments or delicate medical equipment.
A wire harness is a bundle of wires or cables bound together with straps, cable ties, sleeves, or tape to transmit electrical power or signals. It organizes wiring for easy installation and provides some protection against environmental factors like vibration or abrasion, though it’s typically used in less demanding environments.
A cable assembly is a group of wires or cables encased in a robust outer sheath (e.g., thermoplastic or vinyl) designed to protect against harsh conditions like heat, moisture, or friction. Unlike wire harnesses, cable assemblies are built for more extreme environments and often connect specific components point-to-point.
Wire harnesses require customization for specific applications, involving intricate tasks like crimping, soldering, and routing that are challenging to fully automate. Manual assembly ensures precision, especially for complex or small-batch designs, though automation is used for tasks like wire cutting and stripping.
The IPC/WHMA-A-620 is the primary industry standard, outlining requirements for crimping, soldering, and testing. It defines three product classes based on performance needs (e.g., Class 3 for critical systems like medical or aerospace). Other standards, like MIL-STD-454, apply to military applications.
Common tests include:
Choose a wire harness for indoor or less demanding environments where organization and cost-efficiency are priorities (e.g., inside a computer or car dashboard). Opt for a cable assembly in harsh outdoor or industrial settings requiring protection against extreme conditions.
EMS provides wiring harnesses that need to be resistant to vibration and can handle high temperatures, making them perfect for vehicles.
Medical cables must be sterile and reliable. EMS makes bio-compatible cables that can be sterilized without losing performance
EMS manufactures durable cables designed to withstand harsh environments like temperature changes, vibrations, and corrosion.
Whether it's for appliances or heavy machinery, EMS offers versatile cables suited to various environments and uses.
