The maintenance effort must be reduced anyway.
Maintenance work to ensure site safety and product quality takes a lot of time and skill.
OMRON's connectors reduce maintenance man-hours both during planned and emergency maintenance with their unique structure and skill-less workability.
01 Zero retightening work during planned maintenance
The two screw-less structures eliminate the need for time-consuming retightening of screws before shipment, after transportation, and during periodic maintenance.

02 Reduced replacement time for emergency maintenance
Both the push-in and smartclick types do not require skilled workmanship or special tools, reducing replacement hours and downtime in the event of failure.
