Stainless steel cable tie prevents slippage
Panduit has designed a new stainless steel cable tie that prevents slippage on rigid bundles and eases installation.
Versatile system for wire termination
Panduit has just introduced its new CA9 Ezair Universal Applicator in Europe, which works with the most popular wire processing machines to terminate cable using reel-fed products
Using a PAT system, total bundle assembly time is six times faster than manual installations.
Each system can apply a tie around the bundle, adjust the bundle to size and secure the tie in under one second.
To further increase workforce productivity, the systems also feature ergonomic, lightweight tool heads to reduce operator fatigue and repetitive strain injuries.
A new Ethernet enabled dispenser and data interface software provides an RJ45 connection to Ethernet networks for advanced production monitoring and performance tracking.
The software collects data from the PAT system and sends e-mail notifications, for example, when routine maintenance is required, thereby reducing production downtime.
The latest addition to the PAT range is the PAT2S system, which uses new reel fed nylon cable ties with a high loop tensile strength of 220N.
The ties are available in three materials including heat stabilised nylon and allow for large bundling applications of up to 51mm in diameter.
New reel-fed barbed tie cable ties for the PAT1M and PAT1.5M incorporate an exclusive stainless steel locking barb with a 133N loop tensile strength that exceeds industry standards, making them ideal for specific applications where the cable ties need to fit the exact shape of the bundle.
The ties offer greater bundle tightness which reduces both rotational and lateral movement in a variety of environments.
Both the nylon and barbed-tie ties come in reels of 5000, reducing the need for frequent reel changes and increasing productivity levels.
