Handheld Tool Cuts, Strips and Crimps Wire
Stripax Plus is a handheld tool that can cut, strip and crimp single wires ranging from 0.5 to 25 square millimeters. The multifunctional device is designed to increase efficiency and productivity. Wire-end ferrules are stored in a magazine in the tool’s handle and are transported to the crimping die. Adjustments to different cross-sections are made automatically so that no manual adjustment is required.

Robotic Gripper Is Ideal for Battery Production
Efficient gripping and optimum use of space are essential in the production of electric vehicles. With a holding force of 50 newtons, a low residual holding force of less than 1 newton and optional vacuum gripping with up to 200 newtons of holding force, the HM1046 magnetic gripper offers maximum process reliability and adaptability. Whether used as a single gripper or as a ready-to-install system, the end effector can handle a variety of EV assembly applications.

Automatic Cable Tying System Eliminates Waste
ATS flex enables waste-free cable bundling by eliminating excess strap cut-offs. Unlike conventional cable tie processing, it feeds the strap and closure head separately from reels, using only the exact amount of material required. The tool automatically calibrates and optimizes on the first two cycles, while an integrated sensor detects proper closure.

Vehicle-in-the-Loop Simulator Aids EV Development
The vehicle-in-the-loop simulator (ViLS) is designed to validate autonomous and electric vehicles. The platform enables engineers to conduct a wide array of vehicle, environmental and road tests under realistic conditions in a cost-effective and safe laboratory environment. Four-quadrant testing capabilities include forward, reverse, power running and regeneration.

Hydrogen Leak Tester Is Compact
The H6000 is a compact hydrogen leak tester that is available in two versions. A fixed version is designed to be installed in automated test systems or standalone workstations. A portable version is designed for manual inspection of components with a sniffer probe at the end of an assembly line. The device can detect leaks as small as 0.05 standard cubic centimeter per minute—about 80 times smaller than what is typically possible with an air-based test.

Robotic Fastening Tool Ensures Correct Installation
RoboRiv is an electric rivet-nut setting tool that attaches to any robot. It is equipped with force and distance sensors to ensure consistent clamp load and error-free installation of rivet-nuts and rivet-studs. A force-control feature helps prevent spin-out. Real-time data collection provides visibility into issues such as over- or under-tightening.
