Life test assembly for flexible cables
Due to ever faster, high-tech automation systems in all areas of production and application technology, industry requires innovative connection solutions. As a long-standing cable manufacturer with over 75 years of experience, we are constantly developing and testing our highly flexible drag chain cables together with our customers in order to always be at the cutting edge of technology.
Our highly flexible SABFlex cables are designed for flexible and permanently flexible loads, e.g. in energy guiding chains or drag chains, as control cables or data cables on industrial robots, on production lines, in handling devices and on automation systems. Our PUR cables also have other advantages. They are particularly flexible, abrasion-resistant, notch-resistant, oil-resistant and chemically resistant. SAB drag chain cables allow continuous use in multi-shift operation with millions of bending stresses and longer service lives. They therefore increase the economic efficiency of your machines and systems so that you are always one step ahead of the competition.
