Ultra-Quality Profile for Printing PEEK Terminal Blocks with Roboze One + 400 Xtreme

3D printing application in the electronics sector

In the electronics industry, a rapid change is underway which sees the integration of circuitry in an increasing number of devices. Innovation proceeds at a progressively rapid pace with the introduction of a growing number of new products that must be designed and manufactured in compliance with ever shorter time-to-market.

At the same time, the need to optimize the electronics and the final product also increases according to the expected workloads and environmental constraints, such as exposure to humid environments or high temperatures. Roboze 3D printing offers custom solutions that can work safely in extreme environments, in a plurality of industrial applications ranging from robotics to aerospace, from energy to motorsport.

Manufacturing terminal blocks with 3D printing technologies

Terminal blocks are among the electronic components most affected by the development of innovative materials and designs. The terminals are electronic connectors used to connect two different circuits in a safe and effective way. Since power is typically supplied by means of electrical cables from external sources, terminal blocks are commonly found on industrial electronic and power management devices. They are usually used when a semi-permanent connection is required on which inspections and maintenance are planned over time.

Terminal blocks: traditional manufacturing vs 3D printing with PEEK

To date, the clamps are produced according to standard geometries for die casting with plastic materials such as PP, PBT and PPE. When special designs are required for special projects, prototypes and small batches or when operating conditions involve chemically aggressive environments or high temperatures, traditional methodologies do not provide an adequate solution.

PEEK responds very well to these operating conditions: its dielectric characteristics, excellent chemical resistance, continuous use temperature up to 250 °C and self-lubricating and self-extinguishing properties, make it one of the most chosen materials in these applications. By combining the material with the Ultra-Quality profile and the Roboze One + 400 Xtreme printer, it is possible to print small tolerance components with a relative density comparable to that of a die cast, opening up new manufacturing opportunities for high performance custom terminal blocks.

Reduce time and cost with Roboze One + 400 Xtreme solution

Together with these technical opportunities, the Roboze One + 400 Xtreme allows companies to obtain advantages also when considering production processes and business efficiency. The table below effectively describes how the production of PEEK terminal blocks with Roboze Professional solutions allows the reduction of time, costs and waste material compared to traditional methods.
