Auto couplers and auto connectors automate the attachment and detachment of piping and wiring!
Of course, hydraulic, air, electricity, as well as toothpaste, powder pellets, chocolate, vacuum, alcohol, and more! We achieve piping connections and switches in various industries.
Using auto connectors (auto couplers, auto joints) leads to: - Increased productivity... Automation and reduced setup time enhance production efficiency. - Realization of FMS... Remote operation becomes possible. - Improved safety... There is no need to approach dangerous areas. - Improved safety 2... Automation of switching piping lines for hazardous materials (such as hot water and hydrochloric acid) enhances worker safety by eliminating dangerous tasks. - Environmental improvement... Work in high-temperature, high-humidity, or dirty areas is eliminated. - Enhanced reliability... Prevents incomplete connections and human errors. - Energy savings... There is almost no external leakage during connection and disconnection. - Factory cleanliness... Hoses and wires do not get tangled, and floors are not contaminated with oil or water. Nabtesco Service has accumulated over 50 years of know-how in automatic connection and disconnection (piping and wiring). We have addressed issues such as misalignment during connection, response to reaction forces, handling of special liquids and powders, automation of production lines where metal (ions) leaching is undesirable, and automatic connection and disconnection of high currents. We have confidently provided custom solutions for special environments! If you have any concerns about automation, please feel free to consult us.
basic information
An auto connector (auto coupler, auto joint) is a device that automates the attachment and detachment of connectors, piping, hoses, and couplers, as well as switching operations. In various processes and equipment, it is necessary to disconnect devices during the switching of varieties and processes or the exchange of tools. During this time, various fluids, electrical, and mechanical mechanisms that transmit between devices require temporary attachment and detachment, which negatively impacts production efficiency due to setup time. This device responds to the need for multi-purpose production processes and the high functionality and speed of equipment, freeing attachment and detachment tasks from manual labor and achieving automation and labor-saving.
