Guanju has recently launched its new-generation GL-05UP intelligent wire harness insertion equipment for automotive applications. This innovative machine, which integrates high precision, high flexibility, and high intelligence, is built on the core technologies of AI vision and laser positioning. It perfectly meets the stringent processing requirements for new energy vehicle (NEV) and intelligent connected vehicle wire harnesses, providing a cost-effective solution for automotive supply chain companies undergoing automation and digital transformation.
With the rapid rise of the NEV and intelligent connected vehicle industries, automotive wire harnesses, serving as the vehicle’s “neural network,” play a critical role in transmitting power and signals. Their processing precision and stability directly determine the safety and reliability of the entire vehicle. Incorrect or missing assembly, especially in high-voltage harnesses, can lead to battery short circuits, motor burnout, or even fire hazards, causing significant economic losses and brand risks for automakers. Concurrently, the industry is accelerating its shift towards a production model characterized by high variety, small batch sizes, and high precision. Traditional manual and semi-automated processing methods are not only prone to quality issues like insertion deviations and poor contact but also face challenges such as labor shortages and rising labor costs. Consequently, automated and intelligent upgrades have become an inevitable choice for the automotive wire harness processing industry to overcome these challenges.
Addressing these industry pain points and development trends, Guanju Automation, leveraging its portfolio of over forty patents and the breakthrough efforts of its professional R&D team, has launched the GL-05UP. This equipment redefines the paradigm of automotive wire harness processing through comprehensive technological innovation. Its core technological breakthrough lies in the integration of an AI vision + laser dual-
positioning system, enabling precise control over terminal insertion angles and spacing. This fundamentally eliminates errors associated with manual operations, perfectly aligns with the stringent high-precision processing demands of automotive high-voltage harnesses, significantly enhances product consistency, and fortifies the primary line of defense for automotive safety. It helps enterprises overcome critical challenges in high-voltage harness processing. Furthermore, the equipment supports the identification of over 30 wire colors and accommodates 12+ terminal crimping processes, allowing flexible adaptation to processing needs for various specifications and models. This capability effortlessly handles small-batch, high-variety production scenarios, resolving the industry pain point of inadequate adaptability found in traditional equipment.
The GL-05UP features a modular design, integrating core processes such as waterproof plug insertion, numbering tube application, and multi-cavity connector insertion into a single, streamlined workflow, thereby enhancing production line efficiency. The machine is intelligently stable and reliable, equipped with pressure monitoring and CCD full inspection to ensure processing quality in real-time. It also supports functions like dynamic correction of wire stripping length and intelligent wire storage, resulting in smoother operation and reduced waste.
With MES full-link data traceability capabilities, the GL-05UP can collect key parameters in real-time, including wire stripping length, crimping data, CCD inspection images, and insertion/withdrawal forces. This enables full traceability of the production process and ensures quality can be effectively managed and controlled.
Looking ahead, Guanju will continue to deepen its R&D efforts in the field of intelligent wire harness equipment. Focusing on the intelligent upgrade needs of the automotive manufacturing industry, the company is committed to driving continuous technological innovation and product iteration, and perfecting its full-industry-chain service system. By offering superior products, more sophisticated technology, and more attentive service, Guanju aims to assist more enterprises in achieving automation and digital transformation, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of China’s intelligent manufacturing industry.
