Xiamen APOLLO Group And India's KIMBAL Meter Group Deepen Cooperation To Promote The Automation And Localization Of Magnetic Latching Relays

Recently, representatives from KIMBAL Meter Group, a well-known Indian meter manufacturer, visited Xiamen APOLLO Group. The two sides held their third in-depth, face-to-face discussion on fully automated assembly solutions for magnetic latching relays used in meters. This meeting marks a further upgrade in their technological collaboration and industrial cooperation.

 

 

During this exchange, both parties systematically discussed the overall architecture and key processes of automated assembly lines for magnetic latching relays, covering core modules such as online CCD vision inspection systems and online relay life testing systems. Simultaneously, they engaged in in-depth discussions on product technologies and cooperation directions related to the manufacturing and supply chain collaboration of key metal components for relays, including silver contacts, manganese-copper shunt stampings, moving spring stampings, cold-headed iron cores, electrical pure iron yokes, and armature stampings.

 

In the area of ​​conductive connections and flexible conductor solutions, APOLLO showcased its mature product portfolio, including copper braided wire, copper braided busbar, copper braid, flexible copper connector, pure copper braid, bar copper braid, copper straightened wire, and braided flexible wire, which are widely used in magnetic latching relays and meter systems. Furthermore, for customized needs in relay applications, the company offers high-reliability connection solutions such as Latching Relay Copper Braid and Copper Braid for Latching Relay, effectively improving conductivity and mechanical stability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding contact systems, APOLLO highlighted its high-performance silver contact product line, including Cap Head Silver Contacts, Cap Silver Contacts for Latching Relay, and Silver Electronic Contact for Energy Meter Latching Relay. Meanwhile, the company possesses mature manufacturing capabilities in the field of bimetallic contacts. Products such as Bimetal Contact for 80A/100A/120A Magnetic Latching Relays and Bimetal Contact Rivets for Magnetic Latching Relays can meet the stringent requirements of different current ratings and application environments.

 

 

Xiamen APOLLO Group is a comprehensive manufacturing enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and sales of relay metal components and automated assembly equipment. It has five major production bases in China and overseas sales offices in India, Spain, Mexico, and other locations.

 

Leveraging the team's over 10 years of practical experience within the Xiamen Hongfa Relay system and more than 20 years of industry accumulation, the company has established long-term and stable cooperative relationships with China's top 10 relay companies and many internationally renowned manufacturers.

 

KIMBAL Meter Group, as India's second-largest meter manufacturer, currently has a monthly output of 1 million units. Against the backdrop of India's accelerating infrastructure construction and smart power upgrades, both parties reached a consensus: APOLLO will leverage its technological advantages in automation and core component manufacturing to assist KIMBAL in advancing the localization of magnetic latching relay R&D and production in India, thereby improving supply chain efficiency and market responsiveness.

 

This meeting not only further solidified the strategic partnership between the two parties but also laid a solid foundation for the large-scale application and technological upgrading of magnetic latching relays in the smart meter field.
