Machinery connectivity applications
HARDWIRING VS. CONNECTORS
Connector-based wiring over hardwiring has benefits at every stage of industrial machinery.
Installation Cost & Time
When hardwired control cabinets need to be disassembled, shipped, and reassembled, more costly specialist contractors need to be hired. Lengthy testing to ensure the wiring has been connected correctly takes extra time, as well.
Plug-and-play connectors can be easily linked to each other and machinery, resulting in a simple, flexible, and versatile installation experiences.
Maintenance
Fixing a hardwired machine requires a specialist maintenance engineer or contractor painstakingly troubleshooting to find failure points among thousands of connections. Not to mention the time it takes to remove, replace, or rewire the issue.
Plug-and-play connectors can be disconnected and replaced easily and cost-effectively within seconds.
Flexibility
For decades, hardwiring was an acceptable practice when manufacturing floors did not change their footprint. Build it and forget it? Those days have passed.
Plug-and-play connectors allow production processes to be adapted quickly and simply, and can often be performed by machine operators themselves. With modular connectors, power, control, and data transmission be side-by-side in one connector, saving space and making it easier for specialists to design applications.
