FANUC & TE Connectivity mark long-standing partnership

TE components make up almost 100 percent of the connector content in these molding presses. The 50,000th Roboshot is to go to TE’s Gateway Plant in Thailand. First introduced over two decades ago, Roboshot was the first fully electric molding machine in the world, offering a cleaner, more energy efficient unit with greater accuracy and repeatability — a major improvement in the molding industry.

As connector miniaturisation began rapidly evolving, the Roboshot electric injection technology allowed for thin-wall molded components to be molded faster and more accurately than the conventional mechanical/hydraulic molding presses. Since the Roboshot’s introduction, TE and FANUC have worked together closely to further improve molding technology by addressing quality and cost challenges as well as changing market needs.
