Applications | ODU DOCK Silver-Line

The ODU DOCK Silver-Line is the ideal connector system for fully automatic docking applications and is designed for an exceptionally long service life of up to 10 million mating cycles. In modern automation, where speed and precision are crucial, this solution enables the automatic connection of systems in production lines and assembly systems. It is perfect for insertion in automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that require reliable energy and data rates for continuous use. Its use in robotics applications ensures that the automated connection of tools or modules is carried out without interruption and with maximum efficiency, maximizing productivity in industrial environments. 

Docking systems for industrial use

From tool‐change systems and factory automation to docking devices in testing facilities and industrial robot systems – the reliable docking connectors in the ODU DOCK series have proven themselves in diverse applications. Their robust design and excellent guiding properties make them the perfect connection component.

A customized version of an ODU SPRINGTAC® Contact was developed for the transmission of welding current in a tool‐change system. An intelligent crimp termination system ensures maximum flexibility in the tiniest of installation spaces – as well as one million mating cycles.
