Assembly robots

ssembly automation relies on robots that work precisely and adapt quickly. HARTING supports this with compact and reliable connectivity that enables quick tool changes, stable data and power transmission and high performance in tight spaces. Modular interfaces, smart cable management and ready to-use cable assemblies simplify installation and keep production lines running efficiently.

Assembly automation requires robots that offer high precision and flexibility. HARTING meets these demands with connectivity solutions that enable fast and flexible tool changes, reliable data transmission and efficient power supply. Even in the smallest of spaces, miniaturised interfaces ensure maximum performance with minimum space requirements. Electromagnetic interference can be avoided with tailor-made EMC solutions.

Our modular connectors for robotics and cable management systems are engineered for frequent reconfiguration and limited installation spaces. HARTING offers perfect-fit solutions with a small connectivity footprint, based on Han® rectangular connectorsas well as industrial circular connectors and metric circular connectors. These interfaces enable assembly robots to adapt quickly to changing tasks while maintaining consistent productivity on the production line.

Innovative locking mechanisms such as HARTING PushPull and the broadest range of termination technologies for industrial connectors ensure easy handling and save installation time. Pre-assembled cable harnesses, dresspacks and floor cables supplement our range.
