TH51588B - Electric cable production system - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (23/01/47) established an electrical cable production system. This system prevented the cost of products using electrical cables, such as cable assemblies, from increasing, and resulted in resource savings. The cable production system 1 consists of input section 9, production control section 10, production section 11, and coloring/cutting section 12. Input section 9 receives production data for cable D, specifying the product number, mark, color, and required length per cable shape. Input section 9 sends the cable D production data to production control section 10. Production control section 10 sends the first production data, specifying the length per product number of the cable to be produced, to production section 11. Production control section 10 sends the second production data, specifying the product number, mark shape, and length per color of the mark to be produced, to the coloring/cutting section 12. The coloring/cutting section 12, Production Section 11, produces three types of electrical wires, with the outer surface (5a) having a single color. The coloring/cutting section 12 marks the outer surface (5a) of the three electrical wires produced by Production Section 11 and cuts them. The three electrical wires are produced using a system that prevents product costs associated with electrical wires, such as cable assemblies, from increasing, and achieves resource savings. The three electrical wire production system consists of Input Section 9, Production Control Section 10, Production Section 11, and Coloring/Cutting Section 12. Input Section 9 receives production data for electrical wire D, specifying the product number, marking, color, and required length per wire shape. Input Section 9 sends the electrical wire D production data to Production Control Section 10. Production Control Section 10 sends the first production data specifying the length per product number of the wire. The electricity to be produced is sent to Production Section 11. Production Control Section 10 sends a second production data specifying the product number, shape of the mark, and length per color of the mark to be produced to the Coloring/Cutting Section 12. Production Section 11 produces the 3-wire cable with a single-color outer surface (5a). The Coloring/Cutting Section 12 marks the outer surface (5a) of the 3-wire cable produced by Production Section 11 and cuts the 3-wire cable.

Claims (10)

1. The cable manufacturing system comprises three sections: an input section, which receives cable production data specifying the product number, length of cable to be produced, shape of the markings to be formed on the outer surface of the cable, and the color of the markings; a production section for manufacturing cables with a single outer surface color; a coloring/cutting section for coloring the outer surface of the cable with the desired markings for color formation and for cutting the cable to the desired length; and a production control section, which receives production data from the input section. Based on the input data, the production control section creates a first production data sheet specifying the product number and length of cable to be produced. This first data sheet is then sent to the production section, where it creates a second production data sheet specifying the product number, length of cable to be produced, shape of the markings to be formed on the outer surface of the cable, and the color of the markings. This second data sheet is then sent to the coloring/cutting section. The production section then produces single-color cables with the product number and length corresponding to the first production data sheet. The single-colored wire is then transported to the coloring/cutting section, where the coloring/cutting section colors the outer surface of the single-colored wire with the desired color according to the second production data, forms the desired mark on the outer surface, and cuts the wire. 2. The electrical wire manufacturing system under claim 1, where the single-color wires produced by the manufacturing division are not subjected to coloring. 3. The cable manufacturing system under claim 1 or 2, whereby the coloring/assembly section includes a number of coloring units, each applying a specified amount of colorant to the outer surface of the cable; the color of the colorant varies depending on the coloring unit; and a number of coloring units apply individual colorants to the outer surface of the cable in accordance with the second manufacturing data. 4. A cable manufacturing system as described in any one of the claims in Claims 1 through 3, whereby when production data is sent from the production control section, the production section sends confirmation data (first) specifying the time at which the corresponding quantity of cables can be delivered to the coloring/cutting section, to both the production control section and the coloring/cutting section. 5. The cable manufacturing system under claim 4, whereby when a second production data is sent from the production control section and a first confirmation data is sent from the production section, the coloring/cutting section sends a second confirmation data to the production control section specifying the timeframe at which the colored and cut cables will be obtained in accordance with the second production data. 6. The cable manufacturing system comprises: an input section, which receives cable manufacturing data specifying the product number and length of cable to be produced, the shape of the mark to be formed on the outer surface of the cable, and the color of the mark; a production section for manufacturing cables with a single outer surface color; a coloring section for coloring the outer surface of the cable with the desired mark color; and a production control section, which receives cable manufacturing data from the input section. Based on the input data, the production control section creates a first production data sheet specifying the product number and length of cable to be produced. This first production data sheet is then sent to the production section. The second production data sheet is then created, specifying the product number and length of cable to be produced, the shape of the mark to be formed on the outer surface of the cable, and the color of the mark, based on the production data sheet. This second production data sheet is then sent to the coloring section. The production section then produces single-color cables with the corresponding product number and length. The first production data is generated, and the single-colored wire is transported to the coloring section. The coloring section then colors the outer surface of the single-colored wire with the desired color according to the second production data, forming the desired markings on the outer surface. 7. The electrical cable manufacturing system under claim paragraph 6, where the single-color cables produced by the manufacturing division are not subjected to coloring. 8. The cable manufacturing system under claim 6 or 7, whereby the coloring section comprises a number of coloring units, each of which sprays a specified amount of colorant onto the outer surface of the cable; the color of the colorant varies depending on the coloring unit; and a number of coloring units spray each colorant onto the outer surface of the cable in accordance with the second manufacturing data. 9. A cable manufacturing system as provided for in any of the claims under clauses 6 through 8, whereby when production data is first sent from the production control section, the production section sends confirmation data first, which specifies the time at which the corresponding quantity of cables can be delivered according to the first production data, to both the production control section and the coloring section. 10. The cable manufacturing system under claim 9, whereby when a second production data is sent from the production control section and a first confirmation data is sent from the production section, the coloring section sends a second confirmation data to the production control section specifying the timeframe by which the colored cable will be obtained in accordance with the second production data.
