Precision Press-Fit Solution for ERNI MicroBridge

Our new EPT-A3 semi-automatic Flexfoil IDC machine is designed to terminate flat flexible cables (FFC) to ERNI MicroBridge connectors with precision and efficiency. This advanced solution automates critical steps in the assembly process, including connector rotation, loading, alignment, press-fit, and unloading - while supporting a wide range of connector configurations and customer-specific requirements. Ideal for high-mix, low-volume production, the EPT-A3 delivers consistent quality, reduced handling time, and improved throughput across automotive, industrial, and other demanding applications.

Note: During the process of closing the connector housing, fine flakes, typically below 500 µm may be generated from ablated conductor or insulation material. Only metallic particles are considered relevant to product quality; non-metallic particles and fibers are not considered. If stricter particle-residue requirements apply, the customer must use a separate additional cleaning station.
