ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IMPROVE IN AND OUT THE CAR.

While most revolutionary developments in the design of electrical systems for the automotive industry are taking place in products for use in the car itself, there are aspects of the manufacturing process which are also demanding improvements and it is probably as much in these areas that other industries can best benefit from the transfer of the technology involved. One area that has been improved in this respect is proximity sensing on the production line. The introduction of subminiature connectors is known as Microchange; the system comprises a range of photoelectric switches including diffuse and retro-reflex models, a double-ended connector system with plug orientation options and a terminal box receptacle from which to make the connection.
