en.Wedoany.com Reported - Japan Aviation Electronics Industry (JAE) has developed and launched the "KN07 Series," a compact, high-density composite interface connector for industrial robots, enhancing safety and operability.
With the acceleration of factory automation (FA), existing factory automation processes are advancing rapidly. Robots are increasingly used for precision tasks in confined spaces and for human-robot collaboration, driving the growing importance of miniaturized, space-saving robots. In the field of collaborative robots, there is a high demand for designs that harmonize with the workspace in terms of appearance and shape, offering a friendly aesthetic. At the same time, safety when humans work nearby is a critical consideration, and external interface connectors must meet these requirements.
Conventional rectangular power connectors commonly used in the past require significant installation space, making them difficult to adapt to small robots, and they fall short in terms of compatibility with human-collaborative environments.
The KN07 Series achieves high-density miniaturization through optimized pole counts. Compared to traditional rectangular connectors used for similar applications, it significantly reduces the mounting area and overall volume. This series features a maximum 72-pole structure combining power and signal contacts, making it widely applicable to small and medium-sized industrial robots.
The connector adopts a sleek, streamlined design suited for collaborative robot environments, enhancing both user-friendliness and safety during human contact. It also incorporates a one-touch locking mechanism that secures the plug into the receptacle with a simple push, allowing users to confirm proper mating via a locking sound. Unlocking is also easy, balancing operability and maintainability.
By flexibly varying the types of contacts and pole configurations, the product can accommodate diverse requirements such as high-current or high-density signal applications, supporting the future miniaturization and space-saving design of industrial and collaborative robots.
Target markets include FA equipment such as robots, automatic machines, machine tools, and semiconductor manufacturing devices, as well as industrial and ground equipment requiring vibration resistance and waterproofing.
General specifications are as follows: Pole count: 32 power poles, 40 signal poles; Rated current: 10A/pole for power, 4A/pole for signal; Rated voltage: 250VAC for power, 50VDC for signal; Connection method: crimp; Applicable cable outer diameter: φ22.3 to φ23.3mm; Protection rating: IP67; Standard certifications: cULus, TUV; Operating temperature range: -10 to +85°C.
