Connectors

Assembly Solutions
for Smart CONNECTIVITY

Assembly lines and test systems for standard
and high-frequency connectors

Whether in the industrial sector (IIoT) or in private applications - connectors are one of the key elements for the digitalization of our world. They enable networking and connection and are used in all areas of electronics.

Progressive networking and decentralization and the rising demand as a result require an equally steadily increasing performance of networked systems. Other important trends and requirements are miniaturization, modularization and reliability; the need for hybrid connectors that transmit power, signals and data in combination is also increasing.

To meet these requirements, flexible and efficient production technology is an essential part of staying globally competitive. 

Our key competencies for electronic connectors are:

  • Product development support 
  • Comprehensive product, demand and process analysis
  • Resource-saving automation concepts
  • AOI of complex assemblies
  • Assumption of responsibility as general contractor
    for the automation solution
  • Integration of third-party systems
  • Broad testing expertise for consistently high product quality
  • Production reliability through comprehensive service and maintenance
  • Smart process data management

Modular Concept

A mechatronic system containing all functions necessary for operation. A modular, fully integrated linear motor with power electronics and displacement measurement in one device. A mover as the moved part. A mechanical guide rail. The most diverse applications can be realised with these few coordinated components. The desired geometries, lengths and radii are formed by the number and choice of the components

Key Benefits

  •  Controlled movement at all times and all places on the transport path. No jerks and no unnecessarily large forces; high positioning accuracy at up to 4 m/s. Even open liquids can be transported
  • Dynamic buffer. The transported material can be accumulated and grouped during the movement.
  • Synchronisation, stopping and starting can be accomplished at any of the stations on the entire path
  • Maximum use of the machine volume. Outward and return path as well as the curves can actively transport material
  • The movers of the XTS system can always run with the flow of product. No return trip or return stroke is necessary. A change of format can be accomplished when changing product without stopping production, just by means of a software setting
  • Low mechanical wear since only the mover requires mechanical bearings. There is no need for: gears, belts, guide rollers and clamps
  • Reduced energy consumption due to lower friction and possible regenerative braking (the brake energy from one transported material can accelerate another)
  • High positioning accuracy reduces the expenditure. The compensation of inaccuracies as required in common transport solutions is not necessary: stretching of chains due to load and wear, re-tensioning of toothed belts, mechanical backlash during a load change
