What are the requirements for industrial robot connectors?

Known as the jewel in the crown of modern manufacturing, it is a core component of the modern equipment industry, supporting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and occupies an important position in all walks of life. As one of the key components of robots, it provides power and transmission for robots, and plays an indispensable role in promoting production.

Requirements for robot connectors

In recent years, with the continuous development of automation, robots have ushered in huge market demand, and higher requirements have been put forward for connectors. Facing the opportunities and challenges given by the times, Harting continues to innovate and conduct technical research and development, and has successively launched modular connectors for transmission and signals between control cabinets and robots, as well as Han DDD connectors with high pin density and small size. Continue to lead the connector industry towards modularization, miniaturization, high speed and high integration , empower the development of the robot industry, and meet the ever-changing market needs.

Hybrid configuration creates more possibilities

When developing new application areas such as assembly lines, robot manufacturers face two main challenges:

●On the one hand, robots need to be more and more sensitive;

● On the other hand, connectors are required to be gradually miniaturized and flexible enough to perform increasingly complex assembly operations.

Modular connectors are an excellent choice to support the development of such robotic systems by accelerating miniaturization and ensuring shielded data transmission.

The modular connector Han DD Double Module provides up to 36 10A/400V Han D-type pressure pin power connection points, while the Han Shielded Module B and Plus shielding modules can provide 27 4A/32V D-type pressure pin signal connection points when fully loaded. The combination of these two modules can be used for small six-axis or SCARA models with high requirements for space and shielding performance. In order to optimize the use of space in the connector, Harting is continuously improving the contact density of Han-Modular modules. Click here to make an appointment!

Big wisdom in a small space

Space-saving connector solutions are particularly important in many mechanical, robotic and automation application scenarios, which is why Harting is promoting the high pin density and small size of the Han DDD connector. Compared with the previous standard Han DD, the pin density of Han DDD has been increased by up to 130%, but the rated voltage has not been reduced, and the size and characteristics are still the same. In addition to saving space, Harting also provides accessories such as grip panels and guide pins/bushings for Han DDD inserts to help optimize the wiring process. Installers do not need other accessories and tools, and only need to deal with one electrical and grounding pin termination technology to complete the wiring. Therefore, Han DDD is extremely convenient to use in conventional control cabinets, providing users with more connection points without changing the size of the existing connection panel opening of the robot. Not only that, in all industrial fields involving electrical connections, the space-saving design concept of Han DDD is very forward-looking and practical, and has huge market potential.
