CAN Bus and DeviceNet Cables for Machine Control

CAN bus and DeviceNet systems can connect a lot of devices over a small number of conductors, provided the cable is right. AP Technology supplies both cable types for machine control, helping designers cut down on individual wiring. Uses include mobile plant, packaging machines, conveying systems and distributed I/O. Pre-assembled drop cables and connectors can also be supplied, which helps to keep a network tidy and makes adding or replacing a node much more straightforward. Standard cable can often be adapted instead of starting from nothing. AP Technology offers over sheathing in materials such as PUR, PE or LSOH, over armouring with galvanised steel wire braid or single wire armour for direct burial, and spiral striping to make individual cables easier to identify. It is a quicker way of getting an off the shelf product to do a special job. AP Technology holds over 750 cable types in stock at its London warehouse, with access to thousands more through strategic partnerships. The range takes in servo, encoder, robotic, control, power, bus, instrumentation, electronic and data, audio and video, and fibre optic cable.

Partners include Tecnikabel, TKD and Nexans, which gives you a wide choice of constructions and approvals without needing a separate vendor for each. AP Technology was founded in 2001 and is a franchised specialist supplier of cable, connectors, cable assemblies, wire and wire management products. Its main differentiator is service, with in-house cable assembly, scheduled and call-off orders, no minimum order value on stocked products, a cable cutting service, custom labels and packaging, and global shipping.
