Please excuse my ignorance. I am not a wiring person.
What are those little orange insulators on your small wires, and why do you use them? |

http://www.ctr-electronics.com/ferrule-20-awg.html They also have 16 and 18 AWG version. We bought some last year at the suggestion of our electrical mentor. They're great for putting stranded wires in the Weidmuller connectors and make it really easy to tell that your wires are fully seated. |

Edit: Do they also help strain relieve the wires? Last edited by Bryce2471 : 08-02-2017 at 01:16. |

Re: pic: 1939's Pneumatic Manifold with Hat
Those are also called "Ferrules" or "End Connectors" and make your wiring MUCH more clean and reliable.
You can get them for free using your AutomationDirect voucher. Ferrules (aka End Connectors) AutomationDirect Voucher Instructions You'll need a good set of ferrule crimpers too. |

Re: pic: 1939's Pneumatic Manifold with Hat
Consider the cases where you may need to access the solenoids to hit the orange buttons to actuate something when the robot is not on, but the system is pressurized. A common case is when the robot needs to be put on the cart, but a pneumatic extension is 'out' and thus preventing us from putting it on the cart.
With that said, I really like this a lot. I'll point my electronics team to it to see if they want to consider something like it since they've yet to finalize the location for our manifold. |
