to its servo motor encoder cable range.
Where traditional methods require
three separate encoder cables, one for
managing power with a second and third
for signal and data, TPC’s Trex-Onics
®
High-
Flex encoder cable converges these roles
into one cable designed to withstand the
harsh use and constant flexing and pulling
associated with servo motor applications.
Power for the controller is combined with
twisted pairs suitable for managing data
and signal, resulting in a product that
can simplify inventory management,
installation and maintenance.
Trex-Onics High-Flex encoder cable is
compatible with multiple interfaces for
encoders including EnDat, Hiperface
®
and
synchronous serial interface (SSI).
Furthermore, whereas TPC typically
develops cable in its signature yellow,
the new encoder cable is presented in
green RAL6018, the industry’s color code
indicative of feedback.
The cable is said to pair well with TPC’s
M23 connectors to create a complete
connectorized assembly that arrives ready
to install.
Trex-Onics High-Flex encoder cable is built
to withstand harsh industrial environments.
Pairs used for analog and digital signals are
protected with braid and foil to promote
maximum flex-life and signal integrity.
A heavy-duty tinned copper braid serves
as a shield against EM/RF noise and
interference, and a specially compounded
thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) jacket
serves as a first line of defense against
abrasion, flexing, oil, and other hazards
associated with dynamic applications.
Wire drawing roller
Sjogren Industries has announced the
launch of its latest customized solution
for the wire and cable industry, the static
dancer roll (SDR).
The patent pending SDR is designed to
replace the conventional dancer roller or
tuner roller on wire drawing machines.
With theconventional roller thecombination
of high heat, draw lube contamination, and
generalwear causeswiresurfacescratching
and ball bearing seizure. Frequent required
maintenance means extended periods of
downtime on the factory floor.
With SDR, Sjogren intends a customizable
solution that extends machine life and
increases productivity. Maintenance costs
are reduced while wire quality is improved.
Initial trial data indicates that SDR shows
little to no wear after two and a half years
of operation. If wear becomes apparent,
a simple rod adjustment (taking less than a
minute) will provide a new surface with no
line downtime.
SDR is one of several new products that
Sjogren Industries plans to introduce to the
market during 2017.
Cablegets pushedaround
Recently launched CableM8 is a new cable
distribution cart from Lake Cable.
Customized for the security market, the
CableM8 is equipped to carry large gauge
cable reels, but is said to move through any
door and pivot easily in areas with limited
space.
Built for durability, CableM8 enables
installers to pull up to 6,000 feet of cable
