The correct cables for the job

First Quarter 2006 Other technologies

Few would be foolish enough to consider employing an unknown driver without a track record to race an expensive rally car. The same could be said for using unbranded low quality cable on motion control devices.

While most of industry is quite aware of state-of-the-art motion control devices, there are those who pay little attention to the quality or pedigree of cables used to connect up this great equipment. Some OEM manufacturers offer guidelines and information to help the clients in their efforts, but this does not necessarily guarantee that the best-suited cables are used.

For many years, Lapp Cable has offered good cable solutions for applications in different industry sectors, providing clients with a total end solution for motion control. With its extensive range of certified products, Lapp has developed a solution in conjunction with OEM manufacturers to assist in essentially all areas.

Covering a full scope of control, data, Fieldbus, servo drives and connectors to suit, the Lapp Cable solution has a 'one stop shop' for any application. Branded for quality purposes, Lapp Kabel Stuttgart is proud to have its name shown across all products and in challenging applications requiring resistance to oil, flexibility or EMC protection with a tinned copper braid, etc. Lapp Cable has accumulated a long track record over a broad spread of industry - across the globe.
