Phoenix Contact: Assistance system for efficient conductor processing

December 9, 2019

In industrial control cabinet manufacturing, processes still feature a large number of manual steps. Phoenix Contact offers a solution in the form of the WIRE assist assistance system from the ClipX product range, which is designed to optimize processes along the entire value added chain.

The software-supported system guides you through the process of semi-automated conductor processing, controls the relevant output devices, and provides you with the necessary information based on CAE data.

The modular design of the workbench gives you the freedom to arrange the workstations as desired, which along with the electrically adjustable height enables customized ergonomics for the application. In addition to the optimal reaching distances that are achieved, the assistance system’s mobility also reduces walking distances. This shortens the processing time and increases efficiency.

The ClipX product range is part of the COMPLETE line system solution for the control cabinet.
