Digital-Twin-Based Flexibility Wires of a Circular Connector Automatic Disassembly Process
Circular connector four-core wires are created by winding in the cable; however, wires of different colors cannot be distributed fixedly within the cables. The exact positions of the four wires inside the cable cannot be determined because the cables are stripped. In addition, the core wire is flexi...

| description | Circular connector four-core wires are created by winding in the cable; however, wires of different colors cannot be distributed fixedly within the cables. The exact positions of the four wires inside the cable cannot be determined because the cables are stripped. In addition, the core wire is flexible and can easily bend in any direction because of the external force interference. Therefore, fully automating this process is difficult. This study aimed to employ finite element analysis software to simulate the flexibility of the core wire in a four-core cable and to design a separate module that only uses a single-axis robot and a stepper motor. The core wires wound within the cable were separated by the designed separate module, which facilitated the subsequent welding process, improved the production efficiency, and reduced the labor costs. |
