Semi-automatic Machine for Inspection and Testing of Connector Application Example

• A semi-automatic machine that performed inspection and continuity testing for a press fit connector used for an automotive sensor, which used conventional air cylinders, now uses ROBO Cylinders
• The system process includes:
  1. Conveyance unit
  2. Press fitting the connector
  3. Continuity test & inspection
  4. Marking process for parts that pass
• By changing to electric actuators, the cycle time has improved by 36% and reduced the running costs by approximately $262,700 over 3 years.

We reduced the costs by approximately $262,700: $44,600 equipment + $216,600 personnel expenses + $1,500 cost of equipment: a total of 3 years.
