Industrial Automation Solutions Manufacturing Capabilities
Stantek Contract Manufacturing manufactures electrical interconnect solutions according to customer-provided specifications, supporting prototype manufacturing, production, testing, and final assembly. Our capabilities are structured to support industrial automation solutions requiring precision, durability, and repeatable performance.
- Application-Specific Manufacturing Support: We manufacture robotics wiring solutions according to customer-provided specifications and documented manufacturing requirements. Our controlled manufacturing processes support customer-defined routing configurations, specified connectors, documented bend radius requirements, strain relief features, and repeatable assembly quality across low-to-mid volume production programs.
- Precision Manufacturing: Our automated and semi-automated assembly operations enable consistent manufacturing quality and tight control of connector and termination tolerances. Each assembly undergoes comprehensive testing, including continuity verification, high-voltage testing, and signal validation to confirm compliance with application requirements. These controlled processes support the production of automation cable assemblies for demanding industrial applications.
- Electromechanical Integration: We manufacture integrated Electro-Mechanical Assembly solutions that combine wiring, connectors, control devices, and mechanical components into ready-to-install subsystems. Integrating electrical and mechanical elements simplifies installation, reduces integration risks, and improves deployment efficiency for industrial automation systems.
- Advanced Materials and Termination Technologies: We utilize high-performance conductors, industrial-grade insulation systems, precision assembly techniques, and validated termination methods to improve durability in demanding automation environments. Customer-specified materials are incorporated into the manufacturing process based on documented requirements including flex life, vibration resistance, temperature exposure, EMI protection, and electrical performance.
- Low-to-Mid Volume Manufacturing Support: Stantek specializes in prototype, pilot, and low-to-mid volume manufacturing programs. Our flexible production environment supports evolving automation projects, customer-requested specification changes, and specialized production requirements while maintaining quality and production control.
- Robotics Wiring Solutions & Automation Cable Assemblies: We provide specialized interconnect solutions manufactured to support the performance, reliability, and long-term durability of robotic and automated systems.
- Robot Wire Harness Assemblies: Our Robot wire harness is manufactured for continuous-motion applications where cables experience constant flexing, twisting, and vibration. Strain-relief features and optimized stress distribution help protect critical termination points while reducing mechanical fatigue. Customer-specified conductors and jacket materials support long service life in industrial robots, collaborative robots, and advanced automation equipment.
- Control Cable Assemblies: Robotic systems often require cable routing through compact multi-axis structures where movement and mechanical interference can accelerate wear. Our Control Cable Assemblies are manufactured according to customer-provided routing requirements for confined spaces while reducing abrasion risks and maintaining organized cable paths throughout continuous operation.
- Reliable signal transmission is critical in industrial automation solutions. Our assemblies incorporate shielding, grounding strategies, and separation of power and signal conductors to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), crosstalk, and ground-loop effects. These manufacturing features support accurate transmission of sensor data, machine vision outputs, control signals, and communication data.
- Robotic Cable Assemblies: Our robotic cable assemblies are manufactured for repetitive motion, torsional loading, vibration, and continuous operation. These assemblies support reliable power and signal transmission in robotic arms, automated equipment, and motion-control systems where durability and performance are critical.
- Terminal Block Wire Harness Solutions: We manufacture organized wiring systems that simplify installation, improve cable management, and support efficient maintenance within automation panels, control systems, and industrial equipment.
- Electro-Mechanical Assemblies: Our integrated electro-mechanical assembly solutions combine critical electrical and mechanical components into fully assembled and validated subsystems. Each assembly undergoes rigorous testing, including thermal cycling, flex-fatigue, and vibration validation to support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Applications of Our Industrial Automation Solutions
Our industrial automation solutions support a wide range of robotics and automation applications requiring reliable connectivity, motion durability, and long-term performance.
- Robotic Arms: Multi-axis robotic arms generate varying mechanical stress profiles during operation. Our high-flex harnesses and robotic cable assemblies are manufactured to support bending, torsion, and vibration while maintaining stable power and signal transmission throughout complex robotic movements.
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): AGVs operate continuously in environments characterized by vibration, contaminants, and temperature fluctuations. Our automation cable assemblies support navigation systems, safety controls, communications, sensors, and power distribution throughout extended operating cycles.
- Control Panels and Automation Systems: Industrial control panels require organized wiring configurations that support efficient operation and long-term serviceability. Our wiring solutions improve cable management, simplify installation, and support reliable operation in PLC systems, industrial controllers, packaging equipment, material handling systems, and smart manufacturing environments.
- Collaborative Robots (Cobots): Cobots operate alongside human workers and require compact cable routing that minimizes interference with safety systems and moving components. Our robotics wiring solutions support customer-specified routing configurations, reliable signal transmission, and electrical connectivity for force-feedback systems, torque sensing, and other safety-related functions.
- Machine Vision Platforms: Machine vision systems depend on accurate transmission of high-speed image data, trigger signals, and lighting controls. Our shielded automation cable assemblies help reduce EMI while maintaining signal integrity in electrically demanding industrial environments.
