Approximately over 70% of global electronic products are manufactured and assembled in China, making it a pivotal region for the global consumer electronics manufacturing industry. All top 10 global electronics manufacturers have established production facilities in the country.
Therefore, 3C electronic equipment is a key industry focus for our company, involving automated machinery for processes such as stamping, drilling, dispensing, soldering, screw fastening, engraving, polishing, sandblasting, insertion, grinding, flat grinding, screen printing, curing/drying, lamination, cleaning, coating, cutting, laminating, labeling, loading/unloading, conveying, electrostatic protection, packaging, and material handling.
In 3C electronic manufacturing equipment (such as assembly lines for mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, dispensing machines, pick-and-place machines, testing machines, screw machines, transfer machines, and robotic arms), flexible cable are the core supporting cables that ensure high-speed, stable, and continuous operation of the equipment. They are primarily used for power and signal transmission in internal reciprocating and frequently bending movements.
1、 Main application devices
● 3C automated assembly equipment
X/Y/Z movement axis for mobile phone frame assembly, screen fitting, cover assembly, camera module assembly and other equipment.
● High speed precision dispensing machine/coating machine
The high-speed reciprocating motion of the moving head requires the transmission of power, control signals, and vacuum signals through flexible wire.
● Visual inspection and AOI equipment
Camera module, laser probe moving mechanism, transmitting high-speed image signals+servo power, requiring flex wire and high shielding.
● SMT and semiconductor related 3C process equipment
High speed reciprocating parts such as suction nozzles, mounting heads, and transplanting mechanisms require extremely high resistance to bending and interference.
● 3C non-standard automation line body
Loading and unloading robotic arm, transplanting shaft, flipping mechanism, screw locking machine, testing fixture, etc.
2、 The core function of flexible cable
● Transmitting power to servo motors and stepper motors
● Transmission control signals, encoder signals, high-speed visual signals
● Ensure that the equipment operates continuously, without interference, and without leakage during high-speed and frequent reciprocating motion
● Improve equipment stability and reduce downtime failure rate
3、 Key requirements for high flex cable for 3C equipment
● High flexibility and bending resistance: 5 to 10 million bending cycles lifespan
● High speed motion: Suitable for high-speed reciprocating of 3C equipment, without knotting or deviation
● High shielding and anti-interference: ensuring stable visual, encoder, and servo signals
● Fine wire diameter and small bending radius: suitable for compact structure of 3C equipment
● Oil resistant, wear-resistant, flame-retardant: meets workshop environment and equipment safety regulations
Flexible cable is a key supporting cable in 3C electronic production machinery equipment, which realizes high-speed reciprocating motion, precision control, and stable signal transmission. It is widely used in automation equipment such as assembly, testing, dispensing, and handling, and is an important basic component to ensure the efficient and stable operation of 3C production lines.
