Cable & Connector Inspection

Inspection Solutions for Cable & Connector Assemblies

Inspect connector geometry, pin alignment, assembly fit and internal features with ZEISS metrology solutions for small and detailed components.

Application focus: Connector geometry, pin alignment, assembly fit and internal inspection.
Cable & Connector Applications

Measure the features that determine connector performance

Cable and connector assemblies combine small geometric features with demanding dimensional requirements. Connector housings, pins, contacts and mating features must work together as intended.

GTS provides ZEISS metrology solutions for dimensional, optical, multisensor and non-destructive inspection. The measurement approach can be matched to the geometry and inspection requirement of the component.

Connector geometry, pin alignment and assembly fit Inspect the features that matter across connector components and cable assemblies.
Inspection Challenges

Small components can contain complex inspection requirements

Connector and cable assemblies can contain small, closely spaced and enclosed features where dimensional variation may affect assembly or electrical performance.

01

Connector Geometry

Verify housing dimensions, mating surfaces and critical connector geometry against design requirements.

02

Pin Alignment

Measure the position and alignment of contact pins and other small connector features.

03

Assembly Fit

Inspect mating features and dimensional relationships that affect how components fit together.

04

Small Features

Capture detailed geometry on compact components where measurement access can be challenging.

05

Internal Structures

Inspect enclosed geometry and internal features without destructive disassembly.

06

Dimensional Verification

Compare measurement results with CAD and defined inspection requirements.

Cable & Connector Applications

Inspect the geometry, interfaces and structures within the assembly

Different connector and cable components can require different measurement approaches depending on the features being verified.

Dimensional Inspection

Connector Geometry

Capture and evaluate connector housings, interfaces, surfaces and other critical geometric features.

Small Feature Measurement

Pins & Contacts

Inspect small contact features, alignment, position and dimensional characteristics.

Assembly Inspection

Cable Assemblies

Assess assembled components and mating features where dimensional consistency matters.

Non-Destructive Inspection

Internal Structures

Use industrial CT to inspect enclosed geometry and internal structures without destructive disassembly.

Measurement Technology

Match the measurement method to the inspection requirement

Surface geometry, critical dimensional features and hidden structures can require different measurement technologies.

3D

3D Scanning

Capture detailed surface geometry for dimensional inspection and CAD comparison of small components and connector housings.

MS

Multisensor Measurement

Combine optical and tactile measurement for components containing different types of dimensional features.

CT

Industrial CT

Inspect internal structures, enclosed features and assemblies non-destructively using industrial Computed Tomography.

Industrial CT Inspection

Inspect what cannot be seen from the outside

Some cable and connector features are enclosed within the assembly and cannot be fully evaluated through external measurement alone.

Industrial CT provides a non-destructive way to capture internal structures and support dimensional, defect and assembly inspection.

  • Internal geometry inspection
  • Non-destructive inspection of assemblies
  • Internal feature measurement
  • Assembly status inspection
  • Defect and internal structure analysis

Choosing the Approach

Start with the measurement problem

The appropriate technology depends on what needs to be measured, how accessible the feature is and whether the inspection concerns external or internal geometry.

Surface Geometry Start with optical 3D scanning when the requirement centres on surface geometry, freeform features or full-field dimensional comparison.
Critical Features Consider multisensor measurement where defined dimensional characteristics require optical and/or tactile measurement.
Hidden Structures Consider industrial CT when internal geometry, enclosed features or assembly status need to be inspected non-destructively.
