DESINA Standard Cables for Machine Tool Builders

DESINA is a recognised approach to standardising machine tool installation, and it has clear implications for the cable you use. AP Technology supplies DESINA standard cables, including servo motor and feedback types, for machine tool builders and maintenance teams. Following this approach makes it easier to identify cable by function, and can help to simplify design, installation and servicing. These cables can be supplied on their own, or terminated with stocked connectors to form tested assemblies. When standard cable will not do, a bespoke cable can be designed around the electrical, environmental and approval requirements of the job. Once the design is done, AP Technology produces a drawing and data sheet for you to check before a quotation is submitted. Nothing goes ahead on assumptions, and you see precisely what is proposed before committing any budget. Getting cable right starts with how it will actually be used. Fixed installation, drag chain travel, continuous bending and torsion all ask different things of a conductor, screen and sheath.

Sheath material then comes down to the surroundings, whether that means oil, UV, direct burial or a space where low smoke zero halogen material is preferred. The AP Technology team starts with the application and works back to the construction. Buying is kept straightforward. There is no minimum order value on stocked products, cable can be cut to the lengths you need, and repeat requirements can be placed on scheduled or call-off orders. Custom labels and packaging are also available, which helps when parts are going straight to a production line or out to a site team.
