Our heartfelt thanks go to our suppliers for standing by us throughout this time of crisis.

When you need a waterproof connector, the choice may not be as straightforward as just choosing an IP68-sealed solution. IP68 ratings can differ – for some, IP68 rated can mean as little as 1 meter for 15 minutes. Fischer Connectors’ solutions offer much higher IP68 sealing levels. And this is a decision-making factor for our customers designing harsh-environment connectivity.

Additive manufacturing (very often called “3D printing”) is a key step in the design engineering process, as it enables us to transfer ideas from an abstract world to the physical world in just a few hours. In the same vein, additive manufacturing is a powerful lever when the challenge is to be the first to deliver a Proof of Concept (PoC).

Stando alle specifiche tecniche riportate, il connettore a un contatto ottico Fischer FiberOptic FO1 garantisce una tenuta stagna IP68 per 2m/24h. Ma alla luce dei controlli fatti, gli ingegneri di Strategic Robotics Systems (SRS) erano convinti che si potesse spingere oltre con il loro rivoluzionario FUSION, veicolo sottomarino a pilotaggio remoto (UUV), in grado di funzionare a 300m di profondità. E avevano ragione.

The mating cycle rating is a key characteristic to consider for rugged connectors. Failing to select a mating cycle rating sufficient for your application could result in a product that is unreliable, short-lived and more costly in the long run… Discover how Fischer Connectors can help extend the potential life span of your devices.

Can you easily mate your connector even if you can’t see it? Don’t let lack of visibility slow you down. Fischer Connectors’ push-pull locking system is designed to reduce the time it takes to mate and unmate your devices. Take the Fischer UltiMate™ and Fischer Freedom™ Series, for example.

The connectors of the Fischer Core Plastic Series are compatible with autoclave, Cidex, EtO, gamma radiation, Steris, and Sterrad sterilization processes, and have been integrated into FDA-approved medical devices. These easy-to-use, lightweight and durable connectors are also ideal for industrial, instrumentation, and food and pharmaceutical processing applications.

In vista d’importanti sviluppi di prodotto elaborati dal nostro team di Ricerca & Sviluppo con e per i nostri clienti, presentiamo il nostro “manifesto di innovazione”, che si articola in tre fasi. L’obiettivo è semplice: reinventare la connettività per il prossimo decennio.

L’innovativo sistema di sterilizzazione SterOx System di SteriLux si avvale dei connettori della gamma Fischer Core Series, scelti per la loro tenuta stagna e perché particolarmente adatti alle applicazioni a 240 volt.

David Ptacek in ConnectorSupplier: “The priorities come from the military robotics projects, but are also important in medical and industrial robots. While smaller in both size and weight, each connectivity solution has to do more: carry more power and more and faster data.”

Oggi più che mai, è fondamentale contare su soluzioni di connettività affidabili per le applicazioni nei settori quali chirurgia e interventistica / diagnostica e imaging / osservazione e terapie.
