'World's first' robotic wiring centre is production-ready

Designed for wiring enclosure mounting plates, the centre first cuts the wires to the correct length. Using wire ferrules the centre then strips and crimps the wires, feeds them through the cable duct and attaches them to components such as terminal blocks, contactors and motor circuit breakers.

Manually this wiring process takes around 180 seconds to complete, but with the Averex it takes around 40 seconds. Using lasers the centre identifies parts and checks their dimensions against the assembly tolerances, highlighting it's reliability. Compared to manual wiring (based on 300 wires), the centre reduces the number of working hours by approximately 15 per enclosure.

The control software, with routing module, features a graphics-based operator interface and can be integrated with electronic wiring lists and CAD layout tools. The centre features a patented machine head which can be rotated by 270º. The head provides cable routing, cutting, stripping and crimping units and the reinforcing plate provides torque-controlled screwing and pre-punched holes.
