Aircraft Wiring System
Support Kits
THE PROBLEM
Complex Wiring Systems. Today’s sophisticated aircraft and weaponry electronics have become increasingly more complex.
Personal Training. The technician who must maintain these systems cannot possibly be knowledgeable about all the various types of terminations and associated tooling needed to repair the vast number of interconnections that make up these systems.
Time Requirements. Once the system becomes inoperative, the pressure to return the system to operation does not permit the luxury of researching the answers to these tooling problems.
THE SOLUTION
Research. Glenair and DMC do all the necessary research to relieve this pressure and eliminate the guesswork and haphazard, trial-and-error utilisation of tools by developing detailed Tool Selection Charts to cross-reference all the connectors with vital repair tool data.
Packaging. Glenair and DMC then packages these Tool Selection Charts, Contents Charts, and Instruction Sheets with all the crimping tools, turrets, dies, wire strippers, installing tools, removal tools, and other accessories necessary to support the system in durable cases so the tools are properly organised and protected.
Ready Access. The technician now has ready access to the technical data and tools for reliable, cost-effective Total Wiring System Support.
Working Together. Glenair and DMC can work with you to select or custom design the right Wiring System Service Kit to meet your individual requirements.
After you have purchased a DMC Service Kit, our trained personnel are available with the information and tools you need to keep your kit up-to-date.THE PRODUCT
Current Applications
CONTENTS CHARTS
Increase Efficiency/Reduce FOD. These charts offer a visual representation of the storage compartments for all tools in the kit. These charts enable the technicians to quickly scan the kit and assure themselves that no tools are missing prior to them departing to make a repair. While this obviously allows the user to easily locate the required tools, it also decreases the likelihood that important components will become lost or left behind in areas where they may later cause damage to electrical circuitry, or system failure (Foreign Object Damage -- F.O.D.). The CONTENTS CHARTS also list all the tools by part number, so reordering information is immediately available should a component require replacement. All tools are identified by common industry part numbers.
INSTRUCTION SHEETS
Save Time And Money Spent On Retraining. Glenair and DMC provide detailed step -by-step directions on how to prepare a tool for use, crimp contacts, install and remove contacts, strip wire, and gauge tools and contacts. INSTRUCTION SHEETS are also available to meet foreign language or unique special purpose tool requirements.
TOOL SELECTION CHARTS
Eliminate Trial and Error Tool Selection. These detailed charts are developed from the actual connector lists of the system being supported, and are designed to direct the technician in the selection of the proper tools and accessories. Glenair and DMC do all the research to cross-reference the appropriate tooling for proper disassembly, repair and assembly of the power, RF and other connectors in the system. The TOOL SELECTION CHARTS identify the connectors in alpha/numeric order by their military and/or commercial designations; identify the contacts by part number and colour code where applicable; list applicable wire sizes; and identify the appropriate crimp tool and associated turret/positioner/die, installing tool and removal tool for wired and unwired contacts where applicable.
The TECHNICAL DATA PACKAGE is affixed to the Kit and protected by transparent, plastic lamination to prevent environmental damage.
KIT PACKAGING
DMC Service Kits are designed to enable the technician to use their time and abilities in the most efficient way. Through our organisational planning we provide the user with the following benefits:
- Easier Access to Tools.
- Less Personnel Downtime.
- Control of Tool Inventory.
- Protection of Tools.
ENVIRONMENTAL PACKAGING
An analysis of the environmental conditions and other factors is of absolute necessity from the beginning. On-site field maintenance requires a packaging system where maximum portability and component protection are the controlling factors, whereas maintenance kits designed for depot level support are based primarily on convenient location of components and other significant factors important to that environment.
CUSTOM SIZES
Depending upon the complexity of they system being supported, the tools and technical data are protected in various formats; from a single metal toolbox for basic, on-site repairs to multi-drawer, roll-around cabinets for depot level repairs.
FOAM INSERTS
Foam inserts (standard for all DMC kits) provide each compartment with a designated storage space that is indicated on the Contents Charts. This allows the technicians to assure themselves that no needed components are missing prior to them departing to make the repair. The technician also knows, prior to leaving the on-site repair that if a foam compartment is empty, then a component is missing and must be retrieved. This helps eliminate FOD (Foreign Object Damage) problems.
Glenair’s full-service facility in Mansfield has fully trained and Authorised DMC technicians to repair and re-gauge tools and to refurbish kits.
