Problem
Manufacturers of cable assemblies and wiring harnesses often face challenges automating their production processes due to high product variety, small batch sizes, and the complexity of integrating multiple assembly steps. Traditional automation solutions require significant robotics expertise, are inflexible when product changes occur, and are typically only economical for large-scale, standardized production runs.
Solution
Cellios offers the IntRAC (Intelligent Robotic Assembly Cell), a modular and immediately deployable automation solution for cable assembly that handles multiple work steps in a single process. The system is individually tailored to customer requirements and can process different cable types within one setup, with efficient changeover capabilities for flexible responses to product modifications. Cellios manages the complete integration and ongoing support of both software and hardware, meaning customers do not need any specialized robotics knowledge to operate the system. The solution includes integrated data collection and quality assurance, with deformed cables automatically sorted out and connector seating verified through pull-out tests.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturing companies in Europe seeking competitive cable assembly and wiring harness production, particularly those with small batch sizes, high product variety, or a need to relieve employees from monotonous assembly work.
