Cable wire insertion verification

An insertion verification system, comprising:

• a logic subsystem;
• and
• a storage subsystem holding a set of instructions executable by the logic subsystem to:
• receive a vibration signal from a vibration sensor, the vibration signal representing a vibration caused by insertion of a cable wire into a cable cavity of a cable connector housing;
• input the vibration signal to an insertion verification model to evaluate whether the vibration signal is consistent with correct insertion of the cable wire into the cable cavity, wherein the insertion verification model is trained to evaluate whether input vibration signals are consistent with correct cable wire insertion, wherein the insertion verification model is trained based on a dataset including a plurality of training examples that are varied with respect to a plurality of insertion parameters to represent examples of both correct insertions and incorrect insertions, and wherein the plurality of insertion parameters include one or more of insertion distance, insertion speed, insertion force, and cable contact type;
• and
• output, from the insertion verification model, an indication of whether the vibration signal is consistent with correct insertion of the cable wire into the cable cavity.

A method for cable wire insertion verification, the method comprising:

• at an insertion verification system, receiving a vibration signal from a vibration sensor, the vibration signal representing vibration caused by insertion of a cable wire into a cable cavity of a cable connector housing, wherein the vibration sensor is integrated into a cable insertion tool used to insert the cable wire into the cable cavity of the cable connector housing;
• inputting the vibration signal to an insertion verification model to evaluate whether the vibration signal is consistent with correct insertion of the cable wire into the cable cavity, wherein the insertion verification model is trained to evaluate whether input vibration signals are consistent with correct cable wire insertion, wherein the insertion verification model is trained based on a dataset including a plurality of training examples that are varied with respect to a plurality of insertion parameters to represent examples of both correct insertions and incorrect insertions, and wherein the plurality of insertion parameters include one or more of insertion distance, insertion speed, insertion force, and cable contact type;
• and
• outputting, from the insertion verification model, an indication that the vibration signal is consistent with insertion of the cable wire into the cable cavity sufficiently far to engage a retention mechanism that resists removal of the cable wire from the cable cavity.
