In detail, LAPP participates in the event with an even richer exhibition space: from its integrated offer of intelligent automation solutions and services for Industrial Communication, digital ordering and logistics, to ÖLFLEX® CONNECT pre-wired systems with customized solutions even for large projects, up to the “futureLab” where LAPP opens for its customers a window to the innovations of the future.
Visitors will also be able to discover all the news remotely on-line by carrying out virtual tours of the exhibition area using “SPS on air”. In addition, LAPP will also be present on the digital platform in the days preceding the start of the fair with in-depth news on the latest connection and cabling technologies and network security. In this way, participants will be able to discuss the latest solutions together with LAPP experts.
A complete service with ÖLFLEX® CONNECT
Thanks to the ÖLFLEX® CONNECT family of pre-harnessed cables, LAPP is able to manage the entire process, from the study, to the engineering of the wiring, up to construction, also offering customized intelligent automation solutions designed together with the customer according to their needs. Specifically, the wide range is divided into multiple products and services for three different categories.
- First, ÖLFLEX® CONNECT CABLE for the assembly of the classic cable. It refers to all the cables for which LAPP performs cutting to size, marking, unsheathing and stripping, connection of cable lugs and / or connectors and more, all according to already defined connection standards, or custom based on individual needs.
- Secondly, ÖLFLEX® CONNECT SERVO for the assembly of servo cables, produced with innovative technologies, to guarantee the highest quality and shielding.
- Finally, ÖLFLEX® CONNECT CHAIN, dedicated to the assembly of entire power chains for customized projects, offers customers a reliable, safe service and a guaranteed assembly from a single source, on time deliveries, for the highest level of quality in the installation of cables into power chains.
Fast connections with ETHERLINE® ROBOT PN FC Cat.5e
Among the novelties, the new ETHERLINE® ROBOT PN FC Cat.5e also stands out, compliant with the PROFINET “Type R” requirements. An Industrial Ethernet cable for flexing-torsion applications, which is perfectly suited to even the toughest operating conditions. It has in fact been specially designed for robotic applications in the industrial sector, in which the cable is subjected to continuous mechanical stress. ETHERLINE® ROBOT PN FC Cat.5e, in addition to ensuring a continuous transmission of data and the verification of some fundamental parameters relating to the feedback cycles between the sensors and the robotic arm and between the robot and the control system, guarantees a high level of reliability, even in horizontal and linear movements in torsion. In addition, the variant with “Fast Connect” technology with internal sheath, allows quick stripping and wiring operations, for a considerable saving of time during the installation.
Optimizing spaces with SKINTOP® MULTI
Another important innovation concerns the Intelligent automation is SKINTOP® MULTI, a multiple cable entry system, suitable for the installation of cables and flexible conduits. Its compact design effectively responds to the need to insert increasingly smaller diameter cables in enclosures with minimum space requirements, to support miniaturization and digitization. It stands out for its wide clamping range with a tolerance of 4 mm, for the AS-I BUS entry system and, in particular, for the new technology with an elastic gel membrane, which allows extremely easy positioning during assembly. In fact, it is not necessary to pre-drill, but it is sufficient to push the cable, which will remain correctly positioned by virtue of the static friction with the outer jacket, through the insert in gel technology.
“SPS Nuremberg represents a strategic opportunity for exchange and discussion with market operators and our customers” declares Gaetano Grasso, Marketing Director of LAPP, who continues “Being back in presence represents an added value as “interpreters” of a change, which increasingly requires cutting-edge technologies and services. A commitment also witnessed by ETHERLINE® GUARD, a device for real-time monitoring of the state of efficiency of Ethernet cables installed in mobile applications, with a view to predictive maintenance of the networks. ETHERLINE® GUARD is part of a broader context of an offer, designed to meet the specific needs of OEMs and End Users in the challenges of today and tomorrow“.
