Safe, durable and easy-to-use Quick Connectors serving the metals industry

Delivering outstanding resistance and long-life performance, Stäubli solutions provide durable connections in rod, wire, and section mills as well as in hot and cold rolling mills.

They ensure safe, reliable connections for hydraulic, water cooling, electrical power and heat measurement signals used in slab distribution regulation, segment leveling and cambering, bearing and pad lubrication, and many other applications.

The wide range of products designed for the foundry and die casting industry includes safe and durable connectors that are suitable for harsh environments. Stäubli’s comprehensive product portfolio plays a major role in lowering production costs and helping reduce inventory levels, while at the same time increasing flexibility to reply to market demands.

Products range from stand-alone to turnkey solutions for die changeover systems and include quick die loading and locking as well as a wide range of mono or multi connectors in the energy streams, like high-temperature thermo regulation, jet cooling, core pull hydraulic, vacuum and electrical circuits.

Regardless of whether it’s forming large metal sheets or intricate complex parts, over the years large machinery has become more versatile and flexible in replying to wide-ranging customer demands. This has resulted in an increased use of exchangeable parts and tools.

Stäubli systems guarantee a fast tool changeover by ensuring quick and safe connections between hydraulic and thermal energy streams, as well as data and signals. In addition, it guarantees robust, safe and stable connections even when exposed to high vibrations, peak pressure, and high mating forces.

Stäubli offers solutions for connection and disconnection of spindles, milling heads and hydraulic clamping, ensuring reliable delivery of cooling liquid, air, power, oil mist, cutting tool lubricants and more.

As fully-integrated connectors, they seamlessly enable quick tool changing for easy maintenance and high productivity. The modular CombiTac systems provide an all-in-one solution for energy circuits in process and maintenance equipment.

When it comes to fully-integrated welding machinery, operating in the most extreme and challenging conditions like in nuclear environments or pipelines both offshore and onshore, systems need to be able to perform fast interventions.

In addition, preventive maintenance is a must. Stäubli fluid and electrical connectors provide the best solution for a fast changeover of tools and welding heads, and at the same time guarantee operator safety and system reliability.

Outside of metal cutting and punching, laser technology is also well implemented in other applications, like in the semiconductor industry or in additive production and welding.

To keep these highly sophisticated industrial laser machines up and running, they need to be equipped with quick connections systems which reduce maintenance and tool changeover time.

Thus, Stäubli continues to strive to remain your ideal partner with its proven track record in dry disconnect couplings, as well as design and materials that are specifically suited for a range of electronic cooling fluids. Another key factor is its blind-mate technology that can be perfectly integrated even in confined spaces.
