Flexible Assembly System for Connectors

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 a production increase with increasing variety and constant quality, new assembly systems were needed that, in addition to the highest accuracy and reliability, also allow for quick, flexible changeovers. Thus, the systems at Fischer Connectors are changed over up to five times a day.

The Solution

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

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