Flamar debuts standard industrial automation cables
Molex is announcing that Flamar, a Molex company, is launching a complete line of standard industrial automation cables for signal and control equipment and processes, servomotors, I/O modules, EtherNet/IP and other network applications.
Flamar standard industrial automation cables are available in multiple jacket materials (PVC, WSOR, PUR, TPE). The weld-slag and oil-resistant WSOR cables are tested and certified for compatibility with Ecolab* hygiene systems commonly used in the food and beverage industry for completely safe plant cleaning.
Claudio Lerose, global product manager, Molex states: "Flamar brings unrivalled cable expertise to assure superior performance, quality and durability. From design to finished product, Flamar is a reliable and flexible partner in custom - and now standard - cables for industrial automation."
Machine builders, line builders, robotic and system integrators can choose Flamar standard industrial automation cables in a range from 26 AWG (0.14mm2) to 10 AWG (6mm2) suitable for applications in food and beverage, material handling, automotive lines and other manufacturing operations, as well as commercial vehicles (forestry, mining machines). Engineered and constructed to solve tough challenges such as drag chain installation (continuous flexing up to millions of bending cycles), the cables are rated for temperature ranges down to -40degC and up to 105degC. They are compatible with all standard industrial connectors, including RJ45, and the Brad range of circular connectors (M8, M12, M23) for servo motors, as well as mPm DIN valve and Molex Heavy Duty connectors.
The Molex logistics network supports the distribution of Flamar standard industrial automation cable in multiple package sizes (small, medium, large) with small minimum order quantities. From a manufacturing standpoint, state-of-the-art extrusion lines and back-torsion cabling machines meet top quality standards. An internal reliability and testing laboratory performs mechanical, electrical, flame resistance, drag chain tests and validates cable developments in compliance with many agency approvals. All Flamar standard industrial automation cables are UL AWM/CSA certified and specific series also UL listed.
Lerose adds: "Our advanced manufacturing methods assure that Flamar standard industrial automation cables meet the most rigorous standards at a competitive cost to customers."
The Molex stand (10.0-110) will showcase Flamar standard industrial automation cables at the upcoming SPS IPC Drives event (22-24 November 2016) in Nuremberg, Germany. For more information about Flamar standard industrial automation cables, please visit www.molex.com/link/flamar.
