Flexible 24/7 Production of Over 6000 Connector Types

Initial Situation & Goals

Fischer Connectors develops and manufactures connectors for the most demanding applications. The globally operating company, headquartered in Saint-Prex near Lausanne, offers thousands of different products in its range and additionally develops customer-specific connection solutions.

To achieve increased production with growing diversity and consistent quality, new assembly systems were needed that allowed for quick, flexible changeovers in addition to the highest precision and reliability. At Fischer Connectors, the systems are reconfigured up to five times a day.

The Solution

After analyzing the complex needs, we developed a customized state-of-the-art Robot Cell . The new robot-based assembly system features custom-built Robotec feeders and Vision Systems with seven cameras, while high-precision axes ensure the highest accuracy.

The changeover takes less than 3 minutes – just a few simple steps are needed. New connector types can be taught by the operators themselves using an intuitively operated, wizard-guided Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
