United
Avionics, Inc. manufactures high quality, technically advanced,
electric cable assemblies and wiring harnesses.
Our
technical expertise and facilities permit us to manufacture harnesses
that can meet difficult conditions such as high temperature limits,
harsh environments, difficult configurations, moisture resistance and
EMI and RFI protection. Many of the UA products are constructed to withstand
water and other fluids, shock, vibration, barometric variances, salt
spray, sand, dust and fungus. Features of our extensive production capabilities
are listed below.
Molding
- Manufacturing harnesses for difficult environments is a specialty
at United Avionics, Inc. Utilizing a specially designed transfer and
compression molding process, UA can encapsulate back shells and other
harness parts in millable compounds such as polyurethane, Viton, Flourel,
Neoprene, buna and silicone rubbers. Through this process, UA can produce
harnesses that can meet special environmental needs including being
flame retardant, abrasion resistant, and impervious to typical engine
fluids.
Potting
- Technologically advanced mixing equipment and special ovens give the
UA casting and potting department the ability to mold in a wide variety
of compounds, including polyurethane, polysulfides, epoxies and silicone
rubbers.

Braiding
- The braiding department with New England Butt machines ranging
from sixteen to thirty-six carriers each, can shield and braid
in
a large number of materials including stainless steel, fiberglass,
Refrasil™, Nomex™, Halar™, Kevlar™, Peek™, and nickel, silver
and
tin coated copper. Extensive braiding and shielding experience
and knowledge permit UA to manufacture to a wide variety of
customer
requirements. |
Thermocouple
- United Avionics, Inc. manufactures high quality, technically
advanced flexible and semi-rigid thermocouple harnesses which can be
constructed to meet many of the common problems that these products
often face, including moisture resistance, flexibility and EMI and RFI
protection.
Lean Manufacturing
- The process of working to improve quality and lead time while simultaneously
working to lower costs has included several components, including the
introduction of the lean manufacturing process. Carefully monitored
inventory control, lot size reduction, minimized paper flow, employee
cross training and minimal product movement between departments all
contribute to optimum efficiency and lower costs.
