Multi‑Harness Welding with Medium‑Frequency Spot‑Welder: How to Avoid Wire‑Fraying Process Problems


Sep 16,2026

Multistrand copperharness spotwelding is a common process in production of newenergy, energystorage and electroniccontrol equipment. Mediumfrequency spotwelding of wire harnesses tends to cause defects such as wireend fraying, wire bursting, wire warping, wire detachment and wire breakage. Blindly increasing current and pressure upon fraying will crush copper wires, deform harnesses, bring insufficient tensile strength and reject products for poor appearance.

I Process Characteristics Prone to Harness Fraying

1.Harnesses adopt multistrand twisted structures with numerous interwire gaps and loose texture; wires easily shift and flip outward under welding pressure.

2.Fine single copper wires feature poor heat resistance; instantaneous high temperature and heavycurrent shock readily melt and burst wires.

3.Stacked multiharness workpieces tend to be uneven and positionshifted; uneven forcebearing during welding causes local suspension and wire bursting.

4.Copper delivers heat fast; uneven heat diffusion generates dual defects: surfacelayer wire melting and innerlayer cold joints.

II Common HarnessFraying Defects

1.Wire bursting upon energization and fuzzy wire ends

2.Edge wire warping and outwardflipping fraying

3.Layered wire detachment and innerlayer fraying from cold joints

4.Overheating embrittlement and wire breakage

III Process Key Points to Avoid Harness Fraying

1.Prewire sorting treatment to eliminate looseness from source

2.Optimize pressure timesequence: slow prepressing and forming under holding pressure

3.Gentle temperaturecontrol fusion to avoid wire bursting caused by excessive heat

4.Match dedicated electrodes to guarantee even force distribution

5.Adopt dedicated limiting tooling to restrain harness displacement

6.Stabilize equipment working conditions to prevent batchwise quality drift
