Developed new automatic wire processors "TRD510" for the automotive market
May 8, 2015
ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd. (President Yoshihiro Onishi) has announced the introduction of the TRD510, automatic wire processors automatically performs a series of tasks such as measuring, cutting, and processing the ends of wires used in wire harnesses. has been developed and will go on sale from May 10th.
The TRD510 is a new model that specializes in processing electric wires for automotive wiring harnesses, and has the industry's highest processing capacity of 5,000 wires per hour, an improvement of 11% in processing capacity compared to our previous model for the automotive market. %, and the footprint has also been reduced by 26% through miniaturization.
In recent years, with the expansion of demand for automobiles mainly in Europe, the United States, and China, the production volume of wire harnesses for the automobile market has also been on the rise. In addition, the equipment installed in automobiles is becoming increasingly electric, and recently, electronic circuit control devices have become standard equipment for sensors and cameras required for active safety functions. Usage is also increasing.
Furthermore, automobile price competition is intensifying, especially in emerging countries where demand for automobiles is rapidly expanding, and automobile manufacturers are increasingly demanding lower prices for wiring harnesses.
Under these circumstances, in addition to advanced processing performance, automatic wire processors are required to further improve productivity, and in developing the TRD510, we have developed the TRD510, which has a proven track record for the consumer products market. The TR500 platform (basic structure), which is excellent in handling thin wires, is compact, high speed, and has high precision, has been adopted, making it compatible with thinner wires and in the automotive market where quality standards are strict. By equipping the machine with the necessary functions as standard, we have been able to increase processing speed while maintaining quality and improving productivity.
Specifically, by equipping the crimping machine with a ”digital crimper'' that facilitates various settings (setting crimping conditions) when crimping terminals, the ”setup change time'', which is considered important when producing wire harnesses, has been reduced *1", and the length measuring unit that measures the wire while feeding it has been changed from the metal roller wire feeding mechanism of the previous model to the "belt feed mechanism" that has been proven in the TR500, reducing damage to the wire. By reducing this, it is compatible with the latest automotive wires, which are becoming thinner, including aluminum wires *2. In addition, the unit is also equipped with feedback correction control that enables high-speed feed, further improving cutting length measurement accuracy.
It is predicted that the demand for automobiles will continue to increase and electrification will continue, and the market is expected to expand.With the aim of increasing our share in the global market for automatic wire processors, we aim to improve quality and pursue productivity. We will strive to further enhance our after-sales service.
- *1 Preparation time before starting processing of the next wire when processing different wire types with one automatic wire processors
- *2 Since the characteristics of aluminum wires vary depending on the manufacturer, we will conduct a processing test to confirm the wire properties in advance. We can also provide replacement parts for special wires such as cutters and clamps.
1. Features of “TRD510”
(1)Productivity is improved by realizing the industry's highest class processing capacity of up to 5,000 pieces/hour and saving space.
(Contributes to reducing processing costs per wire)
Platform
- Adopts the TR500 platform, which has a proven track record in high-speed, high-precision machining.
- Achieved a smaller footprint than our previous model "TRD301" for the automotive market, reducing the footprint by 26%
Crimping machine
- (Equipped with a 2.0 ton class digital crimper that reduces setup change time through numerical control that makes it easy to set crimping conditions)
Cutter unit
- Equipped with the latest servo motor in the drive mechanism, which achieves high-speed, high-precision cutting of wires with advanced control functions.
Length measuring unit
- By adopting the proven belt feed mechanism used in the TR500, damage to the wires is reduced and it is compatible with the latest automotive wires, which are becoming thinner. Equipped with feedback correction control, which improves accuracy especially when machining long cutting lengths.
Standard
- Terminal crimping monitor (TCM)
- Bad wire chopper (a device that cuts off the terminals of wires detected as defective by the above TCM)
(2) Improved maintainability
Cutter unit
- Mechanism for easy blade replacement
- The front/rear stripping blades and six cutting blades each have an independent structure, making it possible to replace the blades individually.
Reduced number of greasing points (compared to our previous model)
- Compared to 29 locations in the conventional model "TRD301", "TRD510" has 17 locations, approximately 40% reduction.
