To introduce the cables into a wardrobe or box, there are essentially 2 options: connectorized, or cable routing through cable glands and/or wall bushings.
Connectors make it easy to complete modular and plug-in systems, allowing for quick changes and replacements of parts or machine modules. On the contrary, the materials and casings used imply a higher component cost, especially if they have to withstand unfavorable environmental conditions, requiring mechanical resistance or to chemical agents, especially in fields such as the food industry.
The routing of cables by means of cable glands, as a general rule, provides a much lower cost in materials and components, requiring a greater component of labor for the installation, assembly and change of modules or some parts of the machine. The traditional solution in this field are cable glands, which provide cable passage, a high degree of protection and anti-traction resistance.
KOLBI, hand in hand with ICOTEK, offers cable gland membranes that save enormous space and assembly time, while maintaining protection degrees of up to IP68.
Depending on the needs, square or round cable glands are available, with a degree of protection up to IP68 and with the possibility of passing up to forty-two sensor cables or one hundred and twenty-one fiber optic cables in a size of only thirty-six. x 112mm. Each and every one of these solutions are designed with flat surfaces to avoid the deposit of debris, with a degree of protection up to IP68, with ECOLAB and FDA certification for the KEL-DPZ-HD cable glands. In addition to this, it allows cables and pneumatic cylinders to pass through in a matter of seconds, ensuring speed and savings in assembly.
Depending on the problem: (degree of protection, wiring density, assembly method, need for unique certifications, reduction of assembly time...) we offer solutions for the passage of control, signal, power and pneumatic cables in industrial environments standard and singular as those required in the food industry and in its part of the end of the line in packaging.
