Improved connection from robot to controller

150623_Harting_2Palletizer robots often operate in factories and warehouses exposed to dust and extreme temperatures, and the installed components must offer reliable function even in harsh environments, as well as easy maintenance.

Okura Yusoki, a leading manufacturer of transport equipment and logistics systems, chose Han-Yellock connectors from Harting for its new palletizer robot. Han-Yellock provides IP65/IP67 protection and an internal locking mechanism with push buttons instead of conventional locking levers to ensure reliable connection while enabling space-saving installation and single-handed operation.

150623_Harting_1Okura Yusoki adopted Han-Yellock to transmit signal and power between robot and controller. The modules of the housing mounted on robots can be easily disassembled and reassembled not only from the mating side but also from the termination side, which makes servicing simple.

By combining a wide range of modules, the connector can integrate multiple signal transmissions and power supplies in one housing, leading to fewer connection points.

By adopting Han-Yellock, Okura Yusoki has achieved improved maintenance, integrated connection and a ‘smart’ design.
