High-precision customization process for ESCON connectors used in railway communication
Wire EDM is used to create intricate shapes and fine details on connector components that require high precision. This process uses a thin wire electrode to cut through metal with electrical discharges, leaving smooth, accurate edges. They are designed for easy connection and disconnection. Hence they offer flexibility during maintenance and design of. The Enterprise System Connection Architecture, ESCON, was developed by IBM as a channel connection architecture with the intent of improving connectivity by incorporating fibre optics into a network. The connector system is a Retractable Shroud Duplex (RSD) and can be supplied as terminated. FPIC designs and manufactures connectors and precision components for automotive, energy, industrial automation and electronic equipment.
