Gigabit Ethernet connectors for docking applications
DuraDock ready

DuraDock ready ­ Introduction

Robots, efficient assembly technology, and image processing are groundbreaking for Industry 4.0 and key technologies in many industries such as automotive engineering. Stäubli delivers suitable Gigabit Ethernet connectors for advanced automation technology.

The connectors guarantee safe and reliable transmission of signals, data, and fieldbuses. DuraDock ­ the brand for connectors for the highest demands and applications with very high mating cycles. With up to one million mating cycles, they can easily meet all the requirements of automated industry sectors such as automotive, electronics, testing, and many more.

Areas of application:

  • Automatic tool changers
  • Automatic (multi) couplings
  • Test benches
  • Robotic-aided manufacturing and production

DuraDock ready
“ready” ­ the name says it all. All connectors in this series are plug-and- play, i.e. suitable for immediate use. You save time and effort for wiring and connecting cables including stripping, crimping, soldering, etc.
The installation in docking plates or machine parts takes place after:

  • Performing the drilling plan
  • Inserting anti-rotation grooved pin
  • Fixing the retaining ring
  • Screwing on the M12 connecting cable

Gigabit Ethernet Connectors
Gigabit Ethernet connectors for signal and data transmission for applications with docked camera systems and components with field-bus communication:
Manufacturing:

  • In automotive body shops and assembly for gap detection, parts positioning, etc.

Logistics and Material Handling:

  • Pick-and-Place

Quality Assurance:

  • Quality control with camera in mill-ing-whead machines with integrated real-time-process analysis
  • In automotive press-shops for crack detection after stamping
  • In paint shops for quality control

Testing systems:

  • Automatic and manual docking systems in test benches for transmission, engines or turbines Image processing:
  • Digital image processing and the required GigE-Vision interface
