Last Friday Sm IDC, first Russian-built machine utilizing IDC technology, became in the limelight in “Glazov. Electron” enterprise, Republic of Udmurtia, Russia. Three leaders – Republic Head Alexander Soloviev, Glazov mayor Oleg Bekmemetiev and enterprise’s General Director Gabit Mullakhmetov ceremoniously cut the red ribbon and officially announced about three semi-automatic machines by SM Contact Engineering.

Equipment of this type is the first one designed and produced in Russia and the first stand-alone SM Contact Engineering project that the company plans to produce on a mass scale. The presentation to regional authorities and test run were held with a national flavor (women in folk dresses, treats of national cuisine such as patty-cakes perepechki). The event was successful thanks to tight cooperation of “Glazov. Electron” and SMCE team on the spot. St.-Petersburg company headed by the General Director Kirill Turgenev gave the finishing touch to mounting, start-up and teaching operators.

Developed machines are aimed to produce insoluble connections with 72 and 95 IDC connector’s types (wire cross section of 0,35-0,75 mm², 2,5 mm pitch and 0.5-1,55 mm², 5 mm pitch respectively). Semi-automatic production cycle consists of following operations:

1. Synchronized wires and housings feeding;

2. Wire termination;

3. Connector’s cover closing;

4. Final product transfer to the storage area;
