Sensor Cable Assemblies for Automated Production Lines

Automated lines can have hundreds of sensor connections, and each one is a potential fault. AP Technology builds sensor cable assemblies for production lines, in the lengths and connector styles that your layout requires, including M12 based options. They speed up installation and make replacements much more straightforward for maintenance teams. Clear labelling also helps with fault finding later on, particularly when many similar looking cables have been routed through the same tray. Pre-assembled drag chains are supported from the design stage through to delivery of a complete, ready to install assembly. Every sub assembly is 100% visually inspected and electrically tested on Cirrus test equipment before being built into the chain and tested again. After final test, each chain receives a unique serial number giving batch traceability for all of its sub components. Each job starts by understanding the application, then gathering the data needed to meet its electrical, environmental and approval requirements.

You receive a drawing and data sheet to check before the quotation is submitted, so everyone is working from the same design. If it helps, a member of the team can visit to discuss the application in more detail. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.

Drawings, samples or an old part number are all a good place to start.
