Its low profile design means it can be installed as a primary circuit connector on the latest robotic spot welding lines.
The cost-effective three pole RobiFix-MINI is designed for 16 mm2, 25 mm2 and 4 AWG cables, enabling it to be used in continuous connections from weld timers to welding guns via robots and tool changers, even where the segments have different cable cross-sections.
It can be used both with traditional welding applications in the frequency range from 50 to 3000 Hz and with the latest welding technologies with frequencies up to 10 kHz. Rated current is 135 A and the maximum voltage is 1000 Vac.
The connector can be assembled by hand, and its design for rapid disconnection reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
The smallest member of the RobiFix family, it measures only 80 mm x 30 mm x 140 mm. Safety is provided by integrated touch protection rated at IP2X unmated and IP67 mated, as well as first-mate last-break connection.
A high frequency 16 mm2 cable for operation in the 3 to 10 kHz range is available from Multi-Contact. Due to the skin effect at high frequencies, its partly insulated single strands allow more efficient current flow by optimising the current density distribution.
The RobiFix-MINI connectors achieve their long term reliability through the use of MULTILAM technology, a proprietary contact system that uses multiple torsion spring contact elements that allow electrical contact to be made via a large number of contact points. This arrangement substantially reduces contact resistance and ensures strong resistance to shock and vibration.
