THE ART OF CONNECTING


Industrial 4.0 also known as ‘Smart factory’ or ‘Smart manufacturing’, aims to innovatively transition business models and revenue sources with use of advanced information and services. The transformation is driven by mass adoption of technology and digitization across sectors, including automation, manufacturing process improvement and productivity/production optimization.  The use of Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and Big data analytics has maximized the efficiency of manufacturing ecosystem. The need for factories to be future ready has influenced thoughts and actions of manufacturers to implement technologies to make the smart factory a reality. Smart cables and connectors play a vital role to empower smart factories and increase production efficiency.
Being the world’s leading suppliers of cable and connection technology, Lapp is already shaping smart factory initiative. The future began long ago at Lapp when we partnered with SmartFactoryKL, a non-profit association founded in 2005. It is a network of industrial and research partners, which initiates and implements together research and development projects, ranging from base technologies to the development of marketable products in Europe. In association with SmartFactoryKL, Lapp has developed a hybrid plug within the framework that combines data, power supply, and pneumatics in one connector and significantly reduces the retrofit times of a modular production plant.
Lapp is dynamically working towards making the smart factory a reality by developing solutions to meet the challenges of the future.  The product range that will be displayed at the Automation Expo’17 from 9th August to 12th August 2017, will showcase some of Lapp’s offering for smart factories. To further strengthen Lapp’s offering for the smart factories, the company will launch ETHERLINE®ACCESS, the managed and unmanaged switches, at the Automation Expo 2017. The switches along with data cables and connectors from one source will ensure reliable connectivity for the industrial network. The other product range that will be displayed at the Automation Expo 2017, include:

Under this range of products, we have developed highly flexible ETHERLINE® FD Cat. 6A.These cables can transmit highest data rates with consistent reliability in drag chains that are under constant movement with a data rate of 10 Gbit/s.In order to fulfill the Cat. 6A requirements, we recommend the use of M12 connectors where water-tightness and dirt resistance in accordance with IP67 are required.
We also offer space-saving yet robust solutions such as the 30% thinner ETHERLINE® EC, suitable for use at sensor level which allows the tightest bending radii. Thanks to the robust PUR outer sheath, the cable can also be used with high mechanical stresses or in oily environments. Another extension to the ETHERLINE® products is the robust 4-wire Cat. 5e Ethernet® cables. These are also available as finished products with a pointed, space-saving M8 connector that is substantially smaller than the M12 connector, commonly used with Industrial Ethernet.
The technology is linked using the PROFINET Industrial Ethernet system.ETHERLINE® range of products are designed with data cables that ensure minimal loss of data/signal and uses networking which assures high-speed data communication. The slim and light design of the components manufactured by Lapp enables robustness with high flexibility best suitable to manage torsion, reeling and unreeling.
Under ETHERLINE®, Lapp is launching ETHERLINE® ACCESS, the managed and unmanaged switches. ETHERLINE® ACCESS is an active network component for industrial Ethernet systems.Lapp believes that the ETHERLINE® range of cables, connectors, and switches are an integral part of the company’s vision for future factories.

Technology behind heat resistant cables

The idea behind installing heat resistant cables is to ensure safety, which also happens to be the topmost priority while employing any system. During the first stage of a fire, the basic idea is to stop the propagation of fire and extinguish the impact caused by the fire at the earliest to reduce any kind of ill effect to the device in use. At the same time, we need to ensure that people can be evacuated under safe conditions. LAPP India , one of the leading cable manufacturers India , is constantly working to build top class heat resistant cables for protection against any such instances, and these cables are available for purchase on the portal. The situation gets critical when the fire is out of control. With the release of intense heat, opaque smoke and toxic substances, which drastically limits the possibility of escape. Exit strategy: Usually all the building should have special devices with the main feature to alert people to EXITs, and extract harmful s

Wiring solution with LAPP cable manufacturers India

Wiring in many old houses is out of date, which would not be capable to withstand the demand of present appliances. The modern gadgets would require modern wiring system in place.  LAPP , one of the leading cable manufacturers India, provides you with the solution to this by ensuring efficient and safe conduct of electric current. In this section of our blog, we are going to address the wiring problems, when we consider cable manufacturers India: Let’s start with the fuse : If you consider the present day, circuit breakers have taken over fuse, when you consider cable manufacturers India, making fuse a rare commodity. Fuse, however, is the simplest form of the protective shield and work just fine, unless someone installs fuses with higher amperage than the wires can safely handle. Which results in risk of overheating, insulation damage and possible fire accidents because of this. And once the insulation is out of order, replacing the fuse wire with lower amperage won’t help.
