GTI (GUIDED TERMINAL INSERTION SYSTEM)
Producing Quality instead of Testing Quality
The EMDEP Guided Terminal Insertion system (GTI) provides a complete solution for guiding the operator in the process of assembly the wires into the connector. The system guides the operator step by step, indicating the next operation to realize. It includes pick by light guiding for wires, cavity indication by led and full electrical continuity check: Completely guided assembly process free of errors!

Errors Processing
The system is capable to detect the following errors during the assembly process:
- Electrical test of wire
- Non continuity (missing wire)
- Short circuit (wire in wrong cavity)
- Pull wire operation
- Excessive pull
- Unexpected pull
The corresponding error will be displayed on the screen and the LED of the related cavities will be switched on.
Critical errors(excessive pull) block the test, requiring the presence of the supervisor.

Main Features
The following features are supported by the system which is fully customizable according to your process requirements:
- Part number selection by button or scanner
- Wire picking guided by LED
- Wire insertion to connector guided by LED
- Wire Pull operation (simple or double)
- Continuity checking or wire presence option
- 2 Input and 2 output for general purpose
- Printer supported
- Unlimited part numbers can be created
Test Mode
Random Selection

Used when the wires are already inserted in one connector and the other end needs to be guided to a main connector.
Operator selects randomly the next wire by touching a metal probe, the equipment will indicate the cavity where to insert the wire.
Predefined sequential insertion of wires

Operator follows the process indicated by the equipment.
Each wire is requested in a predefined sequence according the data programmed.
Test Modules
The test modules accept different options depending on the guiding and test necessities. The following options can be selected independently and combined in the same station:

Led guiding
Indicates the cavity to insert next wire or affected by the error displayed on the screen
External
Most common option. Led located as near as possible to the connector.
Internal
Located inside the connector shape, the light passes through the cavity of the connector. Fiber optic could be used when there is small cavity or reduced space between them no possibility to use with continuity pins or presence detections.

Lock system
Indicates the cavity to insert next wire or affected by the error displayed on the screen
Pneumatic
Pneumatic clamps locks the connector, normally locked until the test is finished or supervisor cancels the test.
Mechanical
Mechanic clamp is used to hold the connector simplifying the holder concept. The connector can be removed at any time by operator, used normally in combination with auto release option: the lock is automatically released when excessive pull force is applied.

Wire detection
Defines the way in which the equipment will assure the wire presence
Continuity
Continuity pins for each cavity add the possibility to check electrically the wire assuring also the position
Detection switch
Detects the presence of the wire in the cavity. Normally used when only one connector is assembled and it is not required to check the continuity.
None
Used in simple equipment which only guides operator without performing any test.

Wire pull
Detects the wire pull operation
Pull OK
Give a signal.
Excessive pull
Additional detection activated when excessive pull force has been applied. Used normally for pneumatic locked modules.
Additional detection
Test modules supports additionalstandard detections.
Normally used for detection of spacer open or components
Display
- TFT display (optional from 7” to 10”)
- Touch screen
- Displays detailed information about test, visual aid of connector, color of the wires, etc
- Suitable to be integrated in the table when assembling big connectors
- It will replace to the current display (next version)
- Increase connectivity and processing capabilities for the complete product
