Customization Capabilities Simplify Installation
Banner has taken on many types of requests. Whether you’re looking to change form, fit, function, color, appearance, or more, we have the expertise and platform to provide you with custom solutions for your needs.
Wiring
Reduce the number of components on your machine and eliminate wiring errors by consolidating cordsets, splitters, and field-wireable connectors into one custom cordset. Banner can configure a custom cordset with the right connectors along with the exact wiring terminations you need for your unique application.
Challenge: A customer needed to provide power to a machine vision camera as well as trigger two ring lights. Their initial solution involved several cables and manual wiring.
Solution: Banner developed a custom splitter that was designed specifically for their application. The customer only needed to stock one part and significantly reduced assembly time.
Connectors
Do the devices on your machine have unique connectors that make sourcing connectivity difficult? Banner can customize a cordset to have the exact combination of connectors to get the devices on your machine connected, helping to reduce assembly time, and allowing you to stock fewer parts.
Challenge: A customer needed to connect a sensor with an M12 connection to a device that used a non-standard connector. Due to its small size, they had to hand-wire this connector, which was difficult and time-consuming. The customer saw inconsistent quality, as they did not have the correct tools or training to support their technicians that were doing the work.
Solution: Banner provided a cordset that was pre-assembled with the correct connector, immediately saving the customer time by not having to assemble it themselves. It also helped them avoid downtime due to failed cordsets on their equipment.
Molded Junction Blocks
Address very specific wiring and power distribution needs with Banner’s Molded Junction Blocks, a cost-effective unit with a lower cost of entry than potted plastic or metal blocks. Available in up to eight- and twelve-port designs, all ports can be customized with a variety of different connections.
Challenge: A manufacturer needed to power multiple lights using a splitter to connect them to custom wiring for a relay. There was not enough space to manage connections to each individual part.
Solution: Banner took the customer’s original design and developed a custom solution that doubled the number of signals they could use to power more lights by using a central hub to handle all the connections. With the customized wiring already aligned with the customer’s infrastructure, installation time was significantly reduced.
Labeling and Marking
Build a cohesive brand identity, communicate product specifications, and simplify troubleshooting and installation processes with custom labels and markings.
Challenge: Since cordsets typically look identical in the field, it can be difficult to troubleshoot issues quickly. A customer needed to reduce troubleshooting time by adding labels to quickly identify the change that is required.
Solution: Custom label wraps simplified installation and shortened troubleshooting time. Clearly defined labels and local wiring diagrams gave the customer a much-needed solution that showed where the cables needed to be connected and easily identified ports to make connections possible without having to use a separate wiring diagram.
