Investigation of electrical connectors using high-resolution Synchrotron CT
Stäubli is a global provider of industrial and mechatronic solutions in four divisions: Electrical Connectors, Fluid Connectors, Robotics and Textile. The Electrical Connectors Division develops advanced solutions in the field of connector technology. The products are used in industries such as renewable energy, industrial and automation applications, power transmission and distribution, railway industry, welding automation, test and measurement technology, medical devices and e-mobility.
The Contact Technology group within Stäubli's R&D has a strong focus on all topics related to the crimping of cables, especially aluminium cables and/or aluminium ferrules.
ANAXAM's applied material analytics using high-resolution Synchrotron CT was successfully used to gain a better understanding of the crimping process, the number and distribution of contact points and the cable harnesses.
ANAXAM has helped us to develop a better understanding of the dynamics of the crimping process and to compare different available options. Thanks to its pragmatic approach and scientific excellence, ANAXAM has brought our research and development a step forward.”
