Staubli, the specialist in connection solutions, in association with sister company Multi-Contact, has developed a system for the simultaneous connection of air, cooling fluids and electricity; it is called the CombiTac programme.
Many items of modern process and maintenance equipment require connections for compressed air, cooling fluids, industrial vacuum as well as electricity. Bringing each of these connections into one, easy to use, system saves time and eliminates crossed connection. The selection of dry break connectors prevents any loss of material or contamination on disconnection, alternatively un-valved full flow options as also available.
The CombiTac range provides a complete and specially tailored solution for each application. The modules can accommodate three types of safety quick-release fluid or air couplings from 3 to 8mm diameter and numerous electrical contacts, including 4-pole and 2-pole modules from 1 to 8mm diameter. Six different housings can be selected as appropriate for the type and number of connections included as well as the specific application.
A range of predefined fully complete units is available for standard compressed air applications. The modular construction permits customisation to satisfy the detailed connection requirements of any application. Modules containing electrical contacts, cooling circuit sockets and plugs and pneumatic sockets and plugs can be selected and built into one CombiTac system. Staubli's team of connection specialists is available to give advice on specific requirements.
