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.
