October 1, 2019

Acknowledging the ix Industrial connector, the HARTING Technology Group has been awarded this year’s “Innovative Product Award“ in China. The coveted award was bestowed by the “MM modern manufacturing “publication, the counterpart to the specialist magazine “MM Maschinenmarkt “– which both belong to the German Vogel Communications Group, headquartered in Würzburg.

The ix Industrial stands for ruggedness, miniaturization and outstanding performance. Drawing on these strengths, the ix Industrial is offering tomorrow’s solutions today, especially in view of increasingly compact devices and sensors. Sizing up the widely disseminated RJ45 connector, the ix Industrial is the solution for new industrial devices. A connector that is compact and rugged, while ensuring Cat. 6A Performance for 1/10 Gbit/s Ethernet on the control level was long on the wish list of users, designers and developers. HARTING is now fitting the bill with the ix Industrial, a comprehensive, consistent system meeting all the relevant requirements.

Meanwhile, the latest award is the fourth accolade bestowed on the ix Industrial connector. Fielding the ix Industrial, the Technology Group is keeping pace with the times and has created the future, miniaturized interface for Ethernet in the industrial arena.

The award ceremony took place in connection with this year’s Industrial Automation Show (IAS/Shanghai). In line with the event’s focus topic “Integrated Industry – Industrial Intelligence “, the HARTING portfolio showcased cloud manufacturing and edge connectivity, as well as solutions for the miniaturization mega trend - with the awarded ix connector featuring as one of genuine highlights in this area!

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
