CPM Press-in Technology
Connectors are playing an increasingly vital role in pressin technology for telecommunications applications. Tools and handling are crucial for optimum processing as well as ensuring uniformly high quality.
Processing strategies adapted to changing production layout. ALCATEL, Eu, France
ALCATEL, based in Eu, France, has opted for CPM2001/s-type press-in machines as part of its flexible and efficient processing solution. Thanks to their networking capabilities and high flexibility – in connection with outstanding operator convenience – the insertion machines were capable of meeting the highly specific requirements of existing production processes.
With their powerful insertion force of 100 kN and the highly flexible and intelligent insertion force monitoring function, the CPM2001/s were predestined to meet the requirements at the ALCATEL plant. Proprietary tools or tool systems were quickly implemented. The optimum utilization of the four machines that were already installed was accomplished via the data available in the internal computer network. In this way it is possible to retrieve all key data at each individual machine within seconds, thereby ensuring flexible and efficient processing at all times.
