M12“即压即用”，工业领域的理想应用

M12 “即压即用”

因为适用于工业应用的恶劣环境，预制电缆连接颇具吸引力。在灵活性日益增长的情况下，人们更感兴趣于平衡预制方案的优势 ，同时能够满足个别需要。M12 “即压即用”特别适合此类任务。

浩亭技术集团以M12电缆组装为例，说明灵活性与恶劣环境下的安全性并不矛盾。工业环境下，所谓的电缆组装的复合模压方案在全世界范围内被接受和应用。这种经过验证的技术要求大量生产同类型电缆，才能保持其吸引力。其费用低于螺栓方案，在高要求的恶劣环境下也表现出较好的性能。

然而，市场倾向于选择不同类型的电缆。这对复合模压来说意味着重复调整使用的工具。另外，许多客户坚持自己的电缆规范，使用自己的电缆。最后但同样重要的一点是，客户希望在调试阶段相同的应用环境下尽可能多地选用不同的线缆。这样，人们越来越重视短期项目的要求。

浩亭已经迎接挑战，开发了以客户为中心的、灵活、安全、广泛应用的连接技术，并且基本与复合模压电缆性能接近。这样使得效率和灵活居于首位。

尽管浩亭选择的方案吸取了M12超薄设计的元素，显著的区别是不再需要紧固，而是按上螺帽，就准备好了。一句话：即压即用!

浩亭的此项创新提供了不可分离式、定制电缆组装，其安装快捷、经济，其机械、电气性能等同于复合模压方案。另一个优势，所有的电缆都可以使用于4.5 到 8.8mm的直径，不需要使用工具调整。这项技术的突出特点在于市场投放快捷、灵活，并且能够按照客户的要求定制电缆。

Molded cable connections are attractive due to their suitability for deployment in rugged environments in industrial applications. Within the context of increased flexibility, there is growing interest in leveraging the benefits of molded solutions, while still being able to respond to individual requirements. The M12 "Press and Go" is ideally suited to this task.

Flexibility and safe utilization in harsh environments are not contradictory, as demonstrated by HARTING Technology Group using the example of its M12 cable assemblies. In the industrial environment, so-called overmolded solutions for cable assemblies are used and accepted worldwide. This proven technology is attractive as long as the same types of cables are processed in large quantities. Their cost is lower than that of bolted solutions, and they also demonstrate better performance in demanding and harsh environments.

The markets, however, tend to opt for different types of cables. For overmolding, this means repeatedly adjusting the tool used. In addition, many customers rely on their own cable specifications and consequently on their own cables. Last but not least, widely differing types of cables are deployed in similar application environments during set-up. As a result, increasing focus is on short-term project requirements.

HARTING has risen to this challenge and developed a customer-oriented, flexible, safe and widely deployable connection technology that approximates the benefits of overmolded solutions. Here, efficiency and flexibility are at the forefront.

While the solution chosen by HARTING draws on the elements already available from the M12 Slim Design, the big difference is that no more tightening is needed. Instead, a cap is pressed on - and it's ready. In a word: just Press + Go!

This HARTING innovation offers a non-detachable, custom cable assembly that can be deployed quickly and economically. The mechanical and electrical properties are equivalent to the overmolded solution. Another advantage is that all cables can be used in a diameter range of 4.5 to 8.8mm, and tool adjustments are not required. The technology is distinguished by its quick time-to-market and flexibility with regard to cables customized to customer requirements.
