3) CREATE THE FOLLOWING CORRUGATED TUBES AND ADD THEM IN CATALOGUE UNDER "SLIT COT" FAMILY.

NAME	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	THICKNESS (mm)
15mm COT	12	15	1.5
20mm COT	17	20	1.5
35mm COT	32	35	1.5

5mm COT	3	5	1

ANSWERS :-

1) P CLAMP :-

For permanent or semi-permanent cable fixings this range of plastic P-Clamps can be used in many industries. Their light weight makes them particularly suitable for use in areas such as aircraft and aerospace where minimising weight, but retaining a strong fixing, is vitally important.

• Manufactured from Polyamide
• Good temperature resistance and high strength
• Wide range of sizes for every application
• Can be used without cable ties

WIRING HARNESS ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE - CLIP DEFINITION :-

WIRING HARNESS ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE - CONNECTOR DEFINITION :-

PROCEDURE :-

• A) CREATE TWO POINTS AT THE CENTRE OF THE ENTRY AND EXIT OF THE CLIP BY SELECTING POINT TYPE AS RADIUS OF CIRCLE. 
• B)  CREATE PLANES AT THE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF THE CLIP AND ANOTHER PLANE AT THE BASE FOR RESTING OF THE BUNDLE WHICH IS OFFSETED AT DISTANCE OF 2 MM FROM THE BASE .
• C) SWITCH TO ELECTRIC PART DESIGN.
• D) CLICK ON SUPPORT DEFINATION SELECT THE P CLAMP PART THEN , SELECT THE ENTRY POINT AND PLANE THEN, SELECT THE EXIT PLANE AND BASE PLANE.
• E) AGAIN CLIK ON SUPPORT DEFINATION THEN, SELECT THE P CLAMP PART , THEN SELECT EXIT POINT,PLANE AND THE BASE PLANE AS SECONDAY PLANE IS TAKEN BY DEFAULT.

 

 

2) BACK SHELL :-

TYCO 1738312-1  https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-1738312-1.html

A BACKSHELL (also known as an adapter) FITS ON THR BACK OF THE CONNECTOR TO PROVIDE STRAIN RELIF AND CABLE SUPPORT TO HELP FROM BENDING OR OVER-FLEXING.

 

DEFINING THE BACK SHELL :-

PROCEDURE :-

• A) CREATE BACK SHELL ENTRY POINT  BY SELECTING POINT TYPE IN BETWEEN ,THEN SELECT TWO CORNOR POINT AND USE MIDDLE POINT OPTION.
• 
• B) CREATE AXIS SYSTEM FOR BACK SHELL ENTRY. 
• 
• C) CREATE BUNDLE ENTRY POINT BY SELECTING POINT TYPE AS CIRCLE AND SELECT THE CIRCLE ON THE ANOTHER END OF THE BACK SHELL.
• 
• D) SWITCH TO ELECTRIC PART DESIGN..
• E) DEFINE PART ELECTRICALLY AS BACK SHELL.
• 
• F) THEN DEFINE THE BACK SHELL CONNECTION POINT.
• 
• G) THEN DEFINE BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT BY SELECTING APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATION , POINT, INITIAL CONDITION.
• 

 

3) CREATION OF CORRUGATED TUBES AND ADDING THEM IN CATALOGUE UNDER "SLIT COT" FAMILY :-

NAME	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	THICKNESS(mm)
15mm COT	12	15	1.5
20mm COT	17	20	1.5
35mm COT	32	35	1.5
10mm COT	7	10	1.5
5mm COT	3	5	1

Corrugated Tube is bellows shape and flexible, using for protect the wire harness. It is using for cars, construction machines, farm machines, consumer electronics, house, etc. We also develop functional products, improve the global supply, increase size and color of product.

1. USE OF CORRUGATED TUBES :-

 

• A) Corrugated flexible tubes also known as Cot tubes / Convoluted Conduits have a wide range of application in automotive industries.
• B) Corrugated tubes are made from plastic material and they are flexible.
• C) Selection of corrugated tubes are mainly driven by wiring harness bundle diameter and temperature resistance requirements.
• D) Black colour tubes are widely used in Automotive and off-road applications but other colours also used to highlight the critical harness for ex. Emission system harness.

PROCEDURE :-

• A) CREATE NEW PART , THEN SWITCH TO ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN.
• B) SELECT DEFINE PROTECTION PART .
• C) CLICK ON THE PART CREATED IN CATIA V5 (VISIBLE ON THE FEATURE TREE).
• D) PROVIDE REQUIRED DIMENSIONS AS NEEDED, AND TAKE THE BEND RADIUS AS 1.5 TIMES THE OUTER DIA OF THE COT-TUBE.

a)15mm COT :-                                                                                                               b)20mm COT :- 

  

c)35mm COT :-                                                                                                               d)10mm COT :- 

   

e)5mm COT :- 

 

CATALOGUE CREATION :-

PROCEDURE :-

A) CREATE NEW FILE AS CATALOGUE DOCUMENT , THEN SELECT ADD FAMILY.

B) THEN PROVIDE NAME AS SLIT-COT, THEN SELECT TYPE AS CONDUIT AND SAVE THE FILE.

C) OPEN THE COT TUBES PART FILES AND SELECT STORE DEVICE COMMAND THEN SELECT SLIT COT CATALOGUE THEN HIT OK BUTTON TO SAVE THE COT TUPE PART FILES TO THE CATALOGUE.
