HARTING modular interface makes machinery and plant wiring far easier

The Han-Modular Flexbox modular system by HARTING.

One of the more recent industrial innovations available from HARTING Canada is the Han-Modular Flexbox. Energy chains are necessary to supply linearly moved components in machines or facilities, representing the lifelines of equipment by providing energy, data, and signals. The Han-Modular Flexbox is a modular interface in the form of a system of plastic housings. Time is often lacking during replacement or removal of energy chains. This interface makes the job faster and easier.

Minimizing a system’s downtime

The Han-Modular Flexbox is designed specifically for energy chains. To minimize a manufacturing system’s downtime against this background, connectors are crucial. This solution enables division of energy chains into flexible segments that are easier to remove and handle. The modular housing concept replaces the standard practice of numerous individual hard-wirings, with one interface serving as a compact overall solution for insertion and removal.

Energy-chain replacement is a piece of cake with this HARTING solution. Users can also adapt this modular interface easily to the geometry of the energy chain, leading to substantial space savings. The modular quality continues inside the housing too. Most of the HARTING Han-Modular portfolio can be used in the Flexbox; this includes more than 100 modules for transmitting currents, signals, and fibre-optic signals. Transmission of power, signals, data, compressed air, and light waves are also possible. As a result, users have a nearly endless variety of possibilities for implementing the right interface for an application – and energy chains can be optimally adapted to any manufacturing system’s unique requirements.

Other advantages of using this modular interface:

• Time and cost optimization. Quick exchange of energy chains through Plug and Play.
• High flexibility. Easy adaptation to various systems.
• Perfect fit. Users can adapt to the geometry of the chains.
• Easy expansion. Versatile combination options with the wide Han-Modular lineup.
• Space savings. Flat housing concept.
• Low maintenance. Result: less downtime.
