Modular Robotic Stations for Control Cabinet Manufacturing

60% More Efficient Control Cabinet Wiring

Wiring control cabinets remains heavily manual. Now more than ever, companies are seeking solutions to make wiring more efficient — saving time and costs while addressing the skilled labor shortage.

WAGO is actively responding to these customer needs and now offers a modular automation solution for efficient control cabinet wiring: the WAGO Wiring Bot. When combined with the conductor preparation station, which also works as a standalone unit, the robot reduces manual labor by 60% for single-sided wiring of frames and mounting plates.

Application Examples

Building and Power Distribution Cabinet Construction

The WAGO Wiring Bot excels in building and power distribution cabinet construction, offering significant advantages, particularly in applications involving mechanical assemblies that are frequently standardized – such as mounting frames with 250-mm wide fields.

It is ideal for projects with low variation between orders and a limited selection of electrical components, including:

Circuit breakers
Residual current devices (RCDs)
Rail-mount terminal blocks for building installations
Products for (building) automation

Control Cabinet Manufacturing

The WAGO Wiring Bot is ideal for control cabinet manufacturing. It primarily enhances the series production of identical control cabinets by handling the pre-wiring during the commissioning process and supplying one-sided, pre-wired rails as semi-finished products. This allows for the efficient production of large quantities of identical control cabinets, provided a positive feasibility analysis is conducted.

Additionally, the robot can handle control cabinets of various sizes, where mechanical assembly often occurs on mounting plates with cable ducts. A wide range of electrical components can be installed, including:

Rail-mount terminal blocks
Controllers
Automation products
Interface products

WAGO Wiring Bot Stations at a Glance

Fully Automated Conductor Preparation Station

The conductor preparation station holds up to 16 conductors for processing based on demand. It automates the selection, measurement, cutting, stripping on both ends and crimping of ferrules, saving the operator from a time-consuming process.

Simultaneous access to up to 16 conductors
Conductor cross-sections from 0.5 to 2.5 mm²
Conductor lengths from 300 to 2500 mm
Fully automated selection, measurement, cutting, stripping on both ends and crimping of ferrules
Optional conductor marking

After ferrule treatment, the conductors undergo a pull-out quality test. Upon successful verification, the finished conductors are handed over to the operator or wiring robot.
