Telsonic Wire Splice System Increases Capacity for Darlington EMS
Stockport based Darlington EMS is a
specialist supplier of electronic manufacturing services, ranging from PCB
assembly and wiring harnesses to panel build. As Darlington’s customers continue to
diversify from non-core activities, the company has seen an increase in demand
for their services, including growth in wire splicing operations. To meet this
specific need, Darlington’s has invested in the latest Ultrasonic Wire Splicing
technology from Telsonic UK.
The new machine, delivered and commissioned
earlier this year, is a TelsoSplice TS3 table type wire splicer. This 20kHz –
3kW system replaces older technology and provides not only greater capacity,
but also the capability to process a larger range of wire sections, from 0.35
to 45mm2.
Machine set up and operation is achieved using
Telsonic’s intuitive TelsoSplice Windows® based Software via a touchscreen. The
system stores weld parameters and data that can be used for quality control /
SPC purposes, and a network connection allows easy transfer of data to factory
production management systems if required. Multiple access levels can be set to
restrict or allow access to weld development and configuration menus.
The system incorporates an easily
maintainable horn and anvil mechanism, which uses integrated cooling designed
for high volume production on copper, aluminium or combinations of both.
In full production at Darlington EMS since
the beginning of 2014, the TelsoSplice TS3 is proving to be both an efficient
and cost effective system. Telsonic UK was selected by Darlington EMS for this
project based upon the wire cross section range offered by the machine and the
availability of UK based spares, maintenance and training support.
The TelsoSplice TS3 is also available as a
hand held, portable unit for work on wire harness assembly boards and the
larger TelsoSplice TS6 20kHz – 6.5kW unit handles wire cross sections from
2.5mm2 to 100mm2.
Telsonic UK offer a comprehensive range of
ultrasonic modules and systems for a variety of welding, sealing, food cutting,
textile cutting, metal welding and cleaning applications.
