Turning cables inside out New cable entry system KDSclick reduces installation time
C
LEMO introduces the Redel SP Connector at MedTech 2016.
L
EMO’s new addition to the lightweight REDEL plastic Push-Pull connector series the SP has the patented internal push-pull latching system embedded in the shell offering increased durability and very high contact density.
Constructed with proprietary sulfone the REDEL SP connector can withstand extensive sterilisation cycles, is available with multiple contact configurations and in a variety of colours giving instant visual identification avoiding cross mating. An ergonomic grip incorporated in the shell design aides surgeons and medical staff to mate and align the connections making the LEMO REDEL SP connectors an ideal solution for medical or measurement applications.

Figure: KDSClick: the easy-to-install, modular cable entry system from CONTA-CLIP
ONTA-CLIP is introducing KDSclick, a new cable entry system that minimizes the time needed for deployment, including assembly of an individual configuration. KDSclick achieves IP65 ingress protection. The system comprises only three basic components – frames, inlays and sealing sleeves – due to its simple modular design: unlike conventional systems that require the frame to be opened and then screwed closed again to insert the sealing sleeves, CONTA-CLIP's new solution is based on a robust, but lightweight single-unit plastic frame. Creating frame openings in the desired size is made easy with click-on inlays, which are available as simple partitions, as tees or as cross and double cross forms. 18 frame variants for different wiring requirements can be readily assembled this way.
This limited number also makes stock-keeping easier. CONTA-CLIP provides 39 different sealing elements to allow for the sealing of various wire diameters as well as feeding several cables through one frame opening. The conical shape of the sealing elements is particularly user-friendly: after sheathing a cable, the elements are fed from the inside of the cabinet to the outside through the frame openings created by the inlays. Thanks to conical tapering, the sealing elements are easily and effortlessly pushed into the frame openings/inlays. As a result, they reliably seal cable gaps and serve as a strain relief with absolutely secure hold on the cabinet exterior. At the same time, the sealing elements can be easily removed again, e.g. when new or additional wiring is necessary. This ensures comfortable changes to the wiring, even for single cables, without having to disassemble the frame. For comfortable cabinet assembly, the frame comes with the same mounting hole layout that is used as a standard for heavy duty connectors – the cable entry system thus fits into the cabinet openings without any special machining of material. CONTA-CLIP launches the new range with 107 x 71 mm frame dimensions. Four additional frames for larger and smaller dimensions as well as a frame with a snap lock for even faster assembly/disassembly are due to follow.

Long-Standing Partnership 50,000th Roboshot Molding Press to go to TE’s Gateway Plant in Thailand
E Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, participated in a special ceremony to mark the production of the 50,000th Roboshot molding press produced by FANUC Corporation. Yoshiharu Inaba, president and CEO of FANUC Corporation formally handed over the 50,000th Roboshot to Minoru Okamoto, TE senior advisor to the CEO, in recognition of TE’s role as a key supplier. TE components make up almost 100 percent of the connector content in these molding presses. The 50,000th Roboshot is to go to TE’s Gateway Plant in Thailand.

First introduced over two decades ago, Roboshot was the first fully electric molding machine in the world, offering a cleaner, more energy efficient unit with greater accuracy and repeatability — a major improvement in the molding industry. As connector miniaturization began rapidly evolving, the new Roboshot electric injection technology allowed for thin-wall molded components to be molded faster and more accurately than the conventional mechanical/hydraulic molding presses. Since the Roboshot’s introduction, TE and FANUC have worked together closely to further improve molding technology by addressing quality and cost challenges as well as changing market needs.
