Zu cohesive Connections include soldering and welding. the form-fitting Connection technology can be B. using screws (form fit through thread) and rivets. Screws (positive locking through self-locking) count at the same time non-positive Connection technology, which also includes clamps or wedges. We report on numerous mechanical fasteners or components for connections or attachments in mechanical engineering applications. Electrical connectors like Connectors or clamps, see Electrical Engineering.

Connection technology for special industries

The following new developments were made for special Industries like Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology, Microsystems Technology, Mobile Machinery  

  • Food producers have so far often been skeptical about the use of connectors in sensitive areas. They fear that the outlines of interfaces will break through the easy-to-clean, smooth surfaces. But you need them in the product-related area for cleaning. Harting has developed a special connector for such applications. The Han F+B withstands intensive cleaning. 
  • Tractors, combine harvesters and seed drills are at the mercy of wind, weather and dirt every day. Damage or signs of wear and tear are therefore inevitable, often have to be repaired directly on the field and often with a variety of challenges. Reliable, mobile and versatile welding systems are an important support in this case. Fronius offers for...
  • The "Compact" connection terminal of the 221 series from Wago stands for fast, simple and safe wiring in classic electrical installations in buildings. Product managers, designers and developers at device manufacturers are now increasingly discovering the advantages of this terminal with a lever – from component manufacture to equipment production and device connection to the end product....
  • Rampf Production Systems has developed a fully automated gluing system for external vehicle parts such as side walls, rear spoilers, tailgates and spoiler lips. The combination of innovative mixing and dosing technology, automation and robotics maximizes the precision, speed and flexibility of the manufacturing processes.

Connection technology for machines and systems

A classic area of ​​application for the connection technology is the Engineering. While the focus used to be more on connections between metallic materials, these are now being partially replaced by plastics. These make their own demands on the connection technology and can be joined together using laser welding, for example. Read below what's new, whether detachable or non-detachable - a secure hold is guaranteed in any case!

When connecting from Plastics that sits down Ultrasonic welding increasingly common in many sectors. It's safe, efficient, energy saving, accurate, eco-friendly, sustainable and more. Here we present innovations such as a new process in combination with the Thermosonic bonding. Or read about how it compares to what has been predominantly used up to now heat sealing performs and how it improves the quality of the connection of critical plastic parts in the body fabricationg ensures.

epoxy resin adhesive, also epoxy glue, is called construction adhesive used, which is particularly strong and resistant even at high temperatures. The connections of the 1K or 2K adhesives are vibration-resistant, vibration-resistant and impact-resistant. the constructor is very flexible with an epoxy resin adhesive and can also be different Materials glue together. Here we present the new epoxy resin adhesives:

With four new arc variants for the TPS / i MIG / MAG welding machine platform, Fronius is further exploiting the technical possibilities of its most modern product series: The "LSC Root" and "LSC Universal" characteristics are based on a new algorithm and are characterized by increased arc stability and reduced spatter emission. New welding parameters form the basis for functions such as the penetration stabilizer, which are available for the first time in the industry.

vogt0216The “Phasis one” ultrasonic testing device from Vogt Ultrasonics guarantees reliable spot weld testing with imaging using phased array technology. With a physical resolution not previously achieved by comparable devices, there is a precise statement about the diameter of the weld nugget and the remaining wall thickness in the area of ​​the weld.

Years ago, commercially available self-tapping screws were often used for sheet metal thicknesses of 1 mm and more, but this is no longer possible today with increasing reduction in sheet metal thickness due to the exhaustion of potential cost savings. In particular, the process-reliable assembly of pre-perforated, thin sheet metal turns out to be by no means trivial in the area of ​​self-tapping screw connections. Ejot knows how to do it and presents the "Sheettracs" as the solution.

telsonic20417In order to connect the plastic components of the opening mechanism with the aluminum of the lid of the resealable lids for the beverage cans developed by Xolution, a joining process had to be found that works quickly and precisely and enables short cycle times for high throughput rates. After extensive tests, the choice fell on ultrasonic welding systems from Telsonic.

fronius30418Fronius recently brought the CMT welding process to the company's most modern welding power source, the TPS / i. With the second generation of the cold arc, robot-assisted welding can be carried out in many applications with unprecedented quality, simplicity and process reliability. Because of these advantages, the steel producer and automotive supplier Voestalpine decided to be the first to use the advanced CMT technology in series production.

telsonic0918Telsonic presents the new control software "Telsoflex" with a new 12 "touch panel for welding and cut-off welding with ultrasound, which makes the ultrasound systems of the USP and TSP series fit for Industry 4.0.

The dosing robots flex speed from Rampf Production Systems drive super-fast on the straight and very precisely around corners. With this new one Dosing the throughput times of processes for sealing, foaming and Glue more than halve in applications for series production.

kager0312The high-tech adhesives from Kager's Ceramabond range for joining ceramic components withstand extreme conditions of use and high temperatures of up to 1760 ° C. For numerous applications, however, it can make sense to additionally seal and seal the adhesive points with a topcoat. Matched to these cases, Kager offers the matching glass coatings of the "Aremco" family.

ganderTube clamp connectors are clamping elements that can be joined together quickly and easily to functional systems using commercially available round or square tubes. Ganter has optimized this product portfolio. All tube clamp connectors are now also available in aluminum.

southco0415For doors and flaps that are to be operated from several positions, Southco has developed the "R4-10 Rotary" latch with double release. It facilitates access when going in or out through a door or to larger access hatches and parts of the appliance when access is from two different points.
