Hybrid Power and Signal Connectors for Compact Machines

Compact machines do not have space for two connectors when one will do. Hybrid power and signal connectors from AP Technology combine both functions in a single housing, reducing the footprint on the motor and the wiring through the machine. They are an obvious fit on small format automation, modular machines and tight robot cells. The saving is not just in space either, because assembly gets quicker and there are fewer opportunities to plug things into the wrong place. One Cable Technology is being adopted by servo and drive manufacturers because it lets machine builders develop more compact, efficient and reliable machines. Custom OCT cable assemblies from AP Technology support digital feedback protocols and systems from the major manufacturers, and they are designed to your exact requirements rather than picked from a fixed list. The 932 Twintec series is an M32 hybrid, first designed for semi automatic tools in the automotive industry. It is UL listed and VDE approved, with body styles for cable and panel mounting.

The Series 2 version offers 19, 24 and 26 contact arrangements with ratings of 35A/2.4A/10A, and it has multi-hole cable clamping for separate conductors in one entry. Based in Hayes with stock held in the UK, AP Technology ships to manufacturers, subcontractors, installers and resellers worldwide. The company is ISO 9001 quality accredited and works from design, sourcing and manufacture through to delivery, so one technical sales team can look after a project from the first question to the final consignment.
