Wireless winner

The system was initially developed following a request from a large Japanese automotive manufacture, with a major production plant in the UK, who wanted to eliminate the issue of production downtime due to communication cable failure within a robot. 

Power and air can be supplied very robustly in a robot through the robot arm but work fatigue of an industrial communication cable is a recognised issue.

The EX600W wireless manifold is a master and slave configuration that connects up to 127 slave modules to the master over a 10metre radius and operates on band width of up to 2.4GHz. By simply eliminating the communications cable completely EX600W users can now benefit from both reduced installation time and costly production downtime.
