Cable entry systems: the perfect connection between control units and machinery

Hardly any industry is as diverse as mechanical engineering and plant construction. From machine tools, injection molding, printing and packaging machines, to large plants in the chemical and environmental sectors, customers demand the highest quality and service.
At the same time, due to international competition, mechanical engineers constantly strive to optimize costs and processes. Icotek offers efficient and cost-effective solutions in the field of cable management for mechanical engineering.
icotek split cable entry and cable gland systems allow a fast, safe and economical way to feed various pre-assembled cables (for example with multi-pin power plugs, circular M-connectors, sensorics, Profibus, D-Sub…) to through panels, connection boxes or cabinets in the machines themselves without voiding the guarantee of the cables and avoiding any type of error as they are not handled.
icotek split cable glands also seal entry points with protection rating up to IP66 / IP68 / UL type 4X and strain relief to EN 62444. Cables without assembled connectors, as well as pneumatic and hydraulic hoses, can be routed to through membrane-based multi-wire entry plates that provide sealing ratings up to IP66 / IP68 and UL Type 4X. Many of our cable entry components are suitable for standard 24, 16 and 10 pin industrial connector cutouts (eg from Harting…) or fit round metric cutouts from M16 to M85.
For applications with lower protection requirements, icotek offers brush plates and brush glands for round and rectangular cutouts. Icotek offers various strain relief plates with various mounting methods for secure and structured cable management of power lines. In general, the products of this manufacturer have high quality and outstanding efficiency. All of their products are quick and easy to install or assemble, both during initial installation and in cases of maintenance or retrofitting.
In this way, they facilitate the mobility of the machines from their manufacturing center, to the start-up at their destination. Icotek cable glands comply with important approvals and standards, such as IP protection, UL recognition, ATEX detergent resistance, ECOLAB or UV resistance according to ISO 4892-2a. So icotek is a solid and reliable partner for the mechanical engineering industry.
