First Automated Terminal Rail Assembly and Marking System Hits U.S.

Weidmuller recently unveiled two new automated machines in full operation at its Richmond, Va., U.S. headquarters. The new Automated RailAssembler and RailLaser machines offer customers a faster, more efficient way to order and receive pre-assembled and marked terminal rails.

The Klippon? Automated RailAssembler, in combination with the Weidmuller Configurator (WMC) software – a planning tool for selecting, configuring and ordering terminal rails – initiates the fully automatic assembly process of terminal rails with the RailAssembler. The use of the automated system eliminates the need to pick, allocate and position individual terminals. The Klippon? Automated RailLaser completes the rail assembly build process by the automatic marking of pre-assembled rails.. In fact, it’s the first automated terminal assembly and marking system in the U.S. for the fully automated building of a company’s control cabinet terminal rail assemblies.

The RailAssembler and RailLaser combined are part of our assembly service offering, where our customers can quickly and easily order repeatable and accurate rail assemblies from our facility in Richmond. Customers can download the WMC software from our website, free of charge, to select, configure and immediately order customized terminal rails and marking to be assembled on the Klippon? Automated RailAssembler and RailLaser.

“The Automated RailAssembler and RailLaser round out our robust, scalable Workplace Solutions portfolio centered around simplifying work processes based on company size and business need,” said Carlus Hicks, Director of Cabinet Products at Weidmuller USA.

For companies who want to experience the productivity and ROI possible with their very own RailAssembler and RailLaser machines, they are available for order. Contact Weidmuller to see the RailAssembler and RailLaser in operation at [email protected].
