What is an automation connector?
Currently, the demand for industrial robots is expanding rapidly. Robot production contributes to the stabilization of assembly quality, production takt time, and the suppression of labor wage increases, but defects in the process such as foreign matter adhesion, mounting/ Mating misalignment, and incomplete Mating occur. There is also
Therefore, IRISO has launched a new "Automation Connector" concept based on the technology it has cultivated to date, with the aim of widely promoting connectors suitable for robot production.
The automation connector is comprised of three technologies that IRISO has developed over the years, and will meet a wide range of customer robot production needs.
Three technologies that make up the automation connector
Floating Connector
IRISO boasts the industry's largest variety Floating Connector, whose connection surfaces Floating when Mating. Floating Connector absorb misalignment of the board and reduce stress on soldering area, preventing soldering cracks. In addition, multiple connectors can be mounted on the same board and Mating. We offer a wide variety of products to meet the needs of our customers.
2-Point Contact structure
IRISO' 2-Point Contact structure is a concept that has two contacts on the same line. It ensures stable contact by removing foreign matter such as floating particles and scattered flux, and by ensuring reliable wiping. The adoption of 2-Point Contact structure increases contact reliability, improving yields and contributing to total cost reduction.
Auto I-lock™ structure
Until now, it was thought that robotic assembly of FPC/FFC cards was impossible, but IRISO' FPC/FFC connector Auto I-Lock structure automatically locks when the FPC/FFC card is inserted, ensuring a secure Mating. This makes robotic assembly possible even when using FPC/FFC cards.
Actual assembly demonstration using automation connectors
This is a demonstration video that reproduces the Robot assembly process by assembling an application equipped with IRISO' solution "Automation Connector" using a wide variety of robots. We have a track record of implementing this with various robot manufacturers, so we will introduce it with specific examples.
Automation connector track record
Received the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers Excellent Product Award
Amid concerns about the decline in the workforce in the manufacturing industry, the three technologies that make up the "Automation Connector" have been recognized as promoting Assembly automation using industrial robots and greatly contributing to the development of the robotics field, and were awarded the 2021 Received the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers' Excellent Product Award.
More than 30 years of experience in the automotive market with strict inspection requirements
Vehicles are known to be subject to very strict inspections because they are used in a wide range of environments, including climatic conditions ranging from the scorching sun in summer to subzero temperatures in winter, heavy rain and snow, and roads with varying maintenance conditions in different countries and regions. . We have a stable track record in the automobile market for over 30 years.
