Robot-human interaction can be a complex field with high safety requirements. Especially when dealing with high-current solutions, the emphasis on user safety cannot be strong enough.
One important aspect is increasing user safety, the other one is keeping product advantages at the same time. That’s why ODU’s new ODU-MAC® Silver-/White-Line high-current modules come with extra features. Up to 255 A and 2.5 kV (PD 2) call for an increase in clearance and creepage. Additionally, IP2X touch-protection has been added to the pin side.
While this optimization is necessary for any high-current application, the modules have more advantages by using ODU LAMTAC® Flex contacts: a minimum of 100,000 mating cycles and decreased mating forces of up to 10 N.
The benefit for the user: a safe, highly reliable and durable high-current interface, making it ideal for use in AGVs/AMRs, where the ODU-MAC® Silver-Line is the interface between robot and the station, or high-power applications in general. Of course, the new modules can be combined with regular ODU-MAC® Silver-/White-Line modules to create a modular connector specifically adapted to any customer requirement.
