Harwin 的接头质量高、可靠且耐用,因此可以在恶劣的环境条件下使用。它们不仅适合消费电子产品等行业的客户,也适合航空航天、赛车和汽车行业的客户,在这些行业中,–65℃ 至 +150℃ 之间的极端工作温度以及剧烈振动都司空见惯。这意味着接头必须始终保持非常高的标准。
Harwin 对这些市场需求所作出的回应是推出了 Gecko 系列接头。这些先进的接头的针脚距仅为 1.25 mm,比微型 D 接头的尺寸小一半,重量轻 75%。坚固的螺丝连接使它们能够承受无数次的插拔操作而不会损坏。
Gecko 接头制造过程从最初的手动过程不断完善到今天的高度自动化解决方案,每年能够生产数十万个接头,接头配置范围很广,从 4 针接头到 50 针接头,还有许多印刷电路板安装选项。
Harwin 已开始开发一条高度自动化、灵活的新生产线,旨在提高 Gecko 接头的生产效率。新的解决方案需要能够在一条装配线上生产不同形状和尺寸的接头。“所以我们和 Festo 一起开发了模块化的方案,”Harwin 运营总监 Paul McGuinness 解释道。
Harwin 的新装配线是基于伺服压机套件 YJKP 和 Festo 紧凑型抓取系统 YXMx 建立的。抓取系统负责工件托盘的XY轴运动,通过多个系统工作站装配塑料壳体。伺服压机负责 Z 轴运动,易于配置,运动的控制和力受控,用于压装和完全触点针脚。
The handling system and the servo press kit are also used in the last station for bending the contact pins to the required angle. The CoDeSys software in the controller CECC-X allows comprehensive control of the servo press profile, providing position and force control throughout the cycle.
The application software supplied with the servo press makes programming extremely easy thanks to an intuitive graphical user interface. It makes it easy to adapt the press profile to the different connector variants without the need for special programming skills. Three valve terminals CPX controlled by the master controller CECC-X via a CAN bus connection actuate the numerous electric and pneumatic grippers and actuators.
“The automated modular concept ensures low production costs and high reliability, precision, repetition accuracy and flexibility”, explains automation expert McGuinness.
