Fabric ribbon cable.
The alternative connection
with high functionality.
Exciting solution with high functionality.
In plant and equipment engineering, the trend is increasingly towards compact cable systems. These include not only a variety of electrical conductors for power and data, but also other components such as fiber optics or media hoses. Application-specific designed fabric ribbon cables offer exciting solutions with high economic efficiency. With them, a wide variety of components can be clearly and reliably integrated into a cable network that stands for performance, fast installation and high functionality.
Conventional round, flat or ribbon cables, often with hybrid structures or in combination with cable drag chains, are still used today in plant and equipment construction. Compared to conventional cables and complex energy supply chains, fabric ribbon cables are a technically and economically attractive alternative. Due to the weaving process, the textile ribbon cables guarantee packing density and offer a clear allocation of the integrated components of the overall system.
Low weight and low cost.
Thanks to the weaving process, individual woven ribbon cables can be produced at moderate costs. Unlike special flat cables, where nothing works without investment in injection moulds and set-up times, weaving eliminates costly lead times.
The loom system only has to be adjusted precisely to the production parameters. This means that smaller production batches – such as for small series or prototypes – can also be produced without any problems.
Performance – precisely adjustable.
Thermal loads are not an issue in the textile composite, as there are no direct material connections between the adjacent elements. Thus, the woven ribbon cable impresses with optimum heat dissipation and the transmission of high currents or reduced cross-sections at the same current strength.
Another advantage is that the elements can move freely against each other within the fabric and are deformable along several axes.
When it comes to fine-tuning the textile connecting cables, parameters such as the precise choice of weaving yarn or the individual adjustment of the fabric structure or the manufacturing process take effect. Warp threads can also be used to provide additional strain relief for the individual wires.
