The DLT- Double Layer Taper, is a workbench taping machine to produce double layer tapes from 2 single layer tapes.

The use of double layer tapes in the taping process of wire harnesses has many advantages, being the most important the fact that the glue will not stick to the wires, allowing free movement and flexibility of the cables.

The machine allows to produce double tapes with different configurations, stored in pre-defined programs. It is possible to define the overlap of tapes, the diameter of tapes and the desired length of the final tape. It also allows to process tapes with different widths and to adjust the speed of reeling.

An integrated taping system for performing spot taping on in-line processes.

It can be integrated with other machines like Cut & Strip machines or Twisting machines.

It has a typical processing time of 1.8 seconds.

When not in use, the machine can be pushed back without being disassembled, using a slider.

The FTM – Flexible Taping Machine, is a workbench taping system for performing spot taping to insulate or bundling splices and/or wires.

It has a typical processing time of 1.8 seconds.

The FTM is an all-in-one machine, since its possible to process normal and end-splices in the same machine.

Also, it can be used with a centering system that ensures that the tape is applied always in the middle of the splice.

The control module is separated from the taping head, which allows for a compact design that results in a more ergonomic use and more free space in the workbench.

The 2FS- Flexible Feeding System, is a low-cost vibration robotic parts feeder.

It can work in standalone mode or integrated with automation systems.

Compatible with all parts geometry: it can use a blank tray or specific orientation masks to separate and orientate parts in a specific position.

The orientation mask and feeding tray replacement is done without tools allowing a quick purge and replacement of components.

Due to its adjustable backlight and integration with vision systems, it allows a precise and reliable parts’ detection.

An automatic system designed to break plastic pins from connectors (punching system) in a fast and automatic way.

It ensures high quality and precise results with burr free cut and undamaged connector’s vias.

It has dedicated tools for each vias’ pattern.

The punching patterns are changeable semi-automatically or manually.

It can punch 2 connectors in each operation.

Combined with this flexibility, it also has a high productivity, since all pins are broken at the same time.

The same machine can be used for different connectors by changing the base plate.

The SASi – Semi -Automatic Seal inserter machine, is a low cost solution for seal insertion, with error proof and automatic insertion of seals.

The machine is completely flexible, being able to work with different seals, connectors and insertion patterns.

For selecting different combinations, the machine has the following quick setup exchangeable components: a connectors tray, an insertion pattern tray and a seals mask. These components are bundled into a pre-programmed reference, which can be later used during production.

The operation starts by selecting which reference the operator wants to produce and then by inserting the correspondent trays into the machine.

In order to avoid any error or wrong combination, each tray is equipped with a RFID tag, which are verified before the operation starts.

If all components are ok, the operator positions the connectors into the respective tray and the seals into the seal’s mask and presses 2 buttons or a foot pedal to insert the seals. All seals present in the configuration are inserted at the same time.

For organization purposes, the machine can be supplied with a storage unit to store all trays.

The RPM is a robotic system designed to break plastic pins from connectors (punching system) in a fast and automatic way.

It ensures high quality and precise results with burr free cut and undamaged connector’s vias.

It has dedicated tools for each vias’ pattern, but the operator just needs to put the connector in the selected nest, since the punching pattern is selected using a barcode reader or a network file (KSK server) and the automatic tool replacement system selects the necessary tool.

It allows the processing of different connectors.

Combined with this flexibility, it also has a high productivity, with an average cycle of 0.7 second per pin.

The RPM Vision + is a robotic system designed to break plastic pins from connectors (punching system) in a fast and automatic way.

It uses a vision system to inspect and validate the end results of the punching process.

It ensures high quality and precise results with burr free cut and undamaged connector’s vias. since it has dedicated tools for each vias’ pattern.

It allows the processing of different connectors, in the same operation.

After the punching pattern is selected using a barcode reader or a network file (KSK server), the operator puts the connectors in the selected nests. The machine will pick the necessary tool and angle and start the punching process.

At the end of the process, the vision system will check each of the connectors to ensure that the punching process is accurate and burr free, identifying OK and NOK parts.

Combined with this flexibility, it also has a high productivity, with an average cycle of 0.7 second per pin.

CRAE is a semi-automatic robotic system designed to assembly connector parts.

It has the capacity to assemble 3 different sets and it handles all its distinct components (rubber, plastic, etc), using always the same hardware.

It has rotating trays in order to ensure nonstop production, allowing the machine to operate in one side of the trays, while the operator is loading or unloading components on the other side.

A vision system is used to detect the components, their orientation and to perform the final visual inspection; an electric clamp with force sensor is used to pick up the components and a load cell is used to measure the insertion force.

The system is a perfect example of combining robotics with vision systems in order to automate delicate and complex tasks, providing flexibility and ensuring 100% quality.

By using vision systems and components with high flexibility, instead of the traditional probes and pins used in tight tolerance jigs, a practically maintenance free machine is obtained and ready to be adapted to other assemblies without the need of reworking the entire machine.

RoSI is designed to insert blind seals and/or hard pins into connectors in a fast and fully automatic way.

It has a rotating working area with 2 trays where the operator puts the connectors after selecting the production order, i.e. the insertion pattern and quantity.

The workstation rotates the tray inside and the robot automatically picks up the required insertion tool and the seal feeder shots the seals to the head of the robot into the connector’s via.

It has up to 3 seal feeders, which allows up to 3 different seals per connectors. The entire process is done automatically and at the end, the vision system will inspect the insertion process.

The flexibility is total, since the connector trays’ are designed for quick replacement and the feeders can be changed completely without complex setups, since the insertion tools are not hard fixed to the robot.
