Manufacturing process
- Twist fine stranded steel wires using a wire twisting machine to form the inner core and cut to specified lengths.
- Form the outer casing by coiling spring steel wire into a long closed spiral spring using a spring winding machine.
- Extrude a protective plastic layer over the outer casing spring using an automatic PVC cable extruder.
- Attach suitable metal lugs or ferrules to either end of the inner core and outer casing using a pressure die casting machine and arbor press.
- Inspect the assembled control cables for smooth mechanical movement and proper dimensions.
- Pack the finished auto control cables using a packaging machine for distribution and sale.
Market
Automotive control cables are critical components heavily consumed by the two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments. The market enjoys steady replacement demand due to regular wear and tear during vehicle operation, with consistent projected industry growth.
