Lapp is launching a robot cable on the market that is explicitly suitable for use with direct current. The Ölflex DC Robot 900 connection cable offers high torsional and bending strength.
Every two years, Igus presents the Vector Award to recognize exciting and creative energy chain applications. This year, 266 applications from 32 countries were received. The winners have now been chosen.
Fully digitized data is the driver for optimizing engineering in control and switchgear construction on the basis of a digital twin. This means that the corresponding article and device data must be available right at the start of project planning.

Icotek‘s split cable entry systems can be freely configured using the online assembly configurator. To do this, users click through various queries to first determine the desired frame.

Reiku shows that sustainability and industrial robots are not mutually exclusive with its corrugated cable protection conduits, which are made from 100% recycled polyamide 12. The manufacturer of cable protection systems relies on Agiplast as its development partner.

Where signal and power cables are routed through an enclosure wall, there is a gap in the shielding through which electromagnetic waves can 'slip through'. Raphael Brandt, Product Manager Cable Gland Systems at Pflitsch, explains what can be done to prevent this.

UR20-8DIO-P-3W-Diag from Weidmüller complements the supplier's 'u-remote' family. With the universal, digital I/O module, each individual channel can be parameterized independently as an input or output.

Deep drilling rigs with top drive systems are used to extract oil from the earth. Until now, manufacturers and operators have relied on so-called 'service loops' to feed cables to the systems. Now there is a new solution from Igus.

Icotek is expanding its range of tool-free mountable cable entry plates with the KEL-DP 6 and KEL-DP 16. They are suitable for sheet thicknesses from 1.5 to 2.5 mm and are available in round, square and narrow designs to fit standard standard cut-outs.
