Overview
Reliable connection technology for demanding machines and systems.
In machines and systems, wiring harnesses are central to power supply, signal transmission and communication. Their quality determines operational reliability, availability and the service life of the whole installation.
Powertune analyses the underlying conditions as early as the planning phase and manufactures cable assemblies that withstand vibration, dirt and harsh environments over their entire life cycle.
Services
What we do for Mechanical engineering and robotics.
- Customised wiring harnesses and cable sets
- Connection cables for sensors and robotics
- Cables for robot systems and automated lines
- Complete solutions for drive technology
- Signal and data cables for Industry 4.0
- Robust connection technology, M8 for example
- Extensive stock of special cables
- Comprehensive testing after assembly
Our goal: zero failure rates, even after five years and more under full load.
Applications
Examples from our production.
Application
Power, signals and data cleanly separated.
In machines and systems, power supply, control and communication run along the same cable routes. We assemble control, sensor and data cables, connection cables for drives and robotics as well as complete cable sets for drive technology. Where interference puts the signals at risk, we use shielded cables.
For sensors and Industry 4.0 applications we often use robust circular connectors such as M8, which keep the data flow permanently clean even under vibration.
Robotics & automation
For robot cells and automated lines.
In robot systems and automated production lines, cables are moved, twisted and subjected to cyclic loads over long periods. For such applications we choose cables that the manufacturer has released for the type of movement involved, and we assemble connection harnesses with multi-pole industrial connectors for the interface to the control cabinet.
From our extensive stock of special cables we produce samples and replacement requirements at short notice. With 3D design in EPLAN we plan the cable routing inside the machine before production starts. More on this under Development & design.
Robustness
Designed for the life cycle of the installation.
Dirt, oil, cooling lubricants, vibration and moving axes put cables in mechanical engineering under heavy strain. That is why we clarify the operating conditions as early as the planning phase and select cables, connectors and protection to match.
Our aim: zero failure rates, even after five years and more under full load.
Delivery
As a cable set, a wiring harness or an assembly.
We supply individual assembled cables, marked cable sets for the machine and the control cabinet as well as complete wiring harnesses. On request we build complete assemblies. For recurring demand we agree framework and call-off orders, scheduled through our MES and traceable without gaps.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Why are Powertune wiring harnesses suitable for mechanical engineering?
Because they are designed for vibration, dirt and corrosive environments in which conventional wiring harnesses quickly fail.
Which connection technology do you use?
A wide range of certified products. We often use the M8 connector for a permanently clean data flow.
How do you ensure reliability?
After assembly our staff check every product thoroughly, so that only fault-free assemblies leave the plant.
Which cables do you assemble for mechanical engineering?
Control, sensor and data cables, shielded cables, connection cables for drives and robotics as well as power cables. Examples from our production are robotics connection harnesses, control cables for laser cutting systems and data cables for machines.
Are cables and branches marked?
Yes. We mark cables and branches to your specification, so that assembly and service can identify every cable without ambiguity.
Do you manufacture wiring harnesses for robots and automated systems?
Yes. We manufacture connection harnesses for robots and cable sets for automated production lines, with cables for moving applications, multi-pole industrial connectors and marked single cores.
Do you keep special cables in stock?
Yes. We keep an extensive stock of special cables. That shortens procurement, especially for samples, replacement requirements and orders at short notice.
