KHU Sondermaschinen Cable Industry

Challenge

• Positioning and processing of connector ends

Solution

As a special machine builder, KHU produces a variety of special machines and systems for a wide range of industries. One of its core fields is the cable industry.

They have had the Motoman SDA20D in operation for the handling of cables in order to be able to position and process connector ends, particularly in the case of cables with processing at both ends.

Result

The precision of the SDA20D enabled KHU to achieve optimal results with regard to process reliability and cycle times. Thanks to the kind support from Yaskawa, they were also able to set up a station and demonstrate the process at the WIRE 2016 trade fair in Düsseldorf. Interest from potential customers was very high and the successful presentation leaves KHU highly confident that they will be able to offer further robot-assisted production systems.
