Glass Processing & Handling

Glass handling equipment moves on gantries and tables with tight envelopes and abrasive dust, in plants that run shifts around the clock. Cable for these machines is usually flat or compact-round, with a jacket that resists scoring and a construction that survives continuous single-plane flexing without generating the torsional stress that makes a round cable twist out of its carrier.

What usually governs cable life here

The requirement that decides how long the cable lasts in this installation — and therefore what we change in the construction.

• Abrasion-resistant jacket against glass dust
• Tight bend radius in thin flat profile
• Continuous-duty flexing without torsion build-up
• High core counts for control and sensor signals
