As collaborative robots upgrade from "safe and light" to "both powerful and flexible", large-load collaborative robots have gradually become the new favorite in the market. These robots can not only complete assembly tasks, but also handle heavy objects. The application scenarios have also expanded from traditional factory large-scale handling and food and beverage palletizing to automotive workshop welding, metal parts grinding and other fields. However, as the load capacity of collaborative robots increases, their internal structure becomes more compact, which puts higher requirements on the design of connectors.
In the face of these latest changes in the market, as a leading manufacturer of industrial connectors in the global robotics industry, Harting is also constantly accelerating the innovation of products and solutions. In view of the development trend of collaborative robots with generally large loads and compact structures, the miniaturization and heavy-duty of connectors have become an inevitable trend in the development of the industry. To this end, Harting has launched the Han Q Hybrid series of products in the collaborative robot industry. This product not only meets the needs of collaborative robots for miniaturization and heavy-duty connectors, but also has the following main features:
1: Compact design, optimized installation space
The housing of the Han Q Hybrid series adopts the Han 3A size, maintaining the same installation size as the original small-load collaborative robot, perfectly solving the problem of limited installation space. Its compact design allows the connector to be easily integrated into compact collaborative robots without additional space adjustments.
2: Miniaturization and high performance
The plug adopts a power + signal + network hybrid interface (5+4+4, 20A / 600V | 10A250V | Cat 5), which can meet the application requirements of conventional heavy-duty collaborative robot connectors, reduce the number of connectors, and simplify wiring.
3: Innovative snap-on design, easy to install and maintain
The Han Q Hybrid series adopts a snap-on design, which is more convenient to plug and unplug than traditional circular connectors, and easier to visually inspect. This design greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance process, reduces the robot's downtime, and improves production efficiency.
4: Metal shielding design to ensure reliable communication
The network connection part adopts a metal shielding design to meet the relevant EMC electrical performance requirements and ensure the reliable communication of the collaborative robot's CAN bus or EtherCAT under various working conditions. This design further improves the stability and reliability of the robot in complex industrial environments.
5: Prefabricated cable solutions to improve assembly reliability
Harting provides prefabricated cable solutions to help users thoroughly improve the assembly reliability of connectors, reduce the complexity of on-site installation, and ensure the long-term stability of connectors during robot operation.
6: Increase product competitiveness
As a key component of the robot, the performance of the connector directly affects the reliability and market competitiveness of the entire machine. Harting has established branches in 42 countries around the world to provide timely and effective customer service.
Connection solution for ultra-large load collaborative robots
For ultra-large load collaborative robots (such as 40-50kg), Harting also launched the Han-Modular Domino modular connector. This series of products not only meets the needs of heavy load, but also provides more flexibility and possibilities to help customers cope with the challenges of higher loads. This series of products also has the characteristics of miniaturization and heavy load, which can meet the connection needs of ultra-large load collaborative robots and ensure efficient and reliable connection in a compact space.
As the pace of Chinese robot companies going overseas continues to accelerate, Harting, with its many years of successful application experience in international leading customers in the robot industry, its innovative product line, and its complete certification system, is willing to work together with domestic robot manufacturers to help domestic robots improve their competitiveness in the global market. Harting's industrial connectors not only provide domestic robots with a high-value appearance design, but also contribute to their performance improvement. I believe that the "small investment" of Harting connectors will surely bring "large output" to Chinese robot complete machines!
