Industrial Automation Solutions to Maximize Output

Written by Margi Gay | Aug 8, 2024 6:45:00 PM

Industrial production lines rely on continuous uptime. Automation enables companies to maximize output. Maintain faster speeds. No need for breaks. No repetitive motion injury concerns. However, mechanical processes can breakdown for various reasons. Don’t let unreliable, less durable electronic connectors be the cause of unplanned downtime.

Connector Impact:

Continuous, repetitive movements can impact connector performance and even cause a connector to stop working altogether. Vibration, motion stresses and other challenging operational conditions can cause connections to become loose or disconnected. A loose connection can degrade power or signal transmission thereby impacting line efficiency, and production output and quality. Disconnects stop production.

Featured Product Solution:

Whether it’s servo motors or robotic applications, or any other industrial application, highly engineered circular electronic connectors are proven to operate in any automation environment. From precision measurement to material handling to packaging, identifying the right connector that will protect your equipment from the effects of continuous operation is critical to maintaining performance levels and keeping production on schedule.

ElectroShield stocks a variety of reliable circular connectors from world-class manufacturers who design-in durability and performance characteristics required in industrial applications. Many of my industrial automation customers have successfully used Fujikura/DDK connectors. In particular, the DDK CM10  series are OEM-specified for servo motors and feature one-touch push-pull locking mechanism for vibration resistance and to ensure mated connectors remain locked. The CM10 ten position connector includes a grounded contact for equipment and user safety.

The DDK CE01 series connectors are OEM-specified for robotic applications, feature IP67 rated options, and quick disconnect bayonet coupling to prevent decoupling. The CE01 series connectors also include a first-make, last-break connection to protect the circuit and the operator.

CM10 Features

  • Wide range of applications; commonly specified for servo motor applications
  • Small sized, light weight, waterproof with push on and turnoff unlocking mechanism
  • Highly durable solid, metal shell construction
  • Angle plug available for low-profile mounting
  • Black trivalent chromium treatment finish

           

CE01 Features

  • Compatible with JIS-B 6015, Japanese Industrial Standards
  • Ground contact to protect the circuit
  • Able to withstand water/moisture, oil, and dust
  • Five-key position prevents cross-plugging problems
  • One touch lock design locks securely (Bayonet Coupling)
  • IP 67 rating & UL approved (File No. E72124)
