ÖLFLEX® - Control Cable India – Right from where it all started!


Choosing the best cable for applications involving extreme temperatures, such as those in wind turbine nacelles, is one of the most critical design decisions. When it comes to withstanding extreme heat and cold, some cables have clear advantages over others. As the lifeblood of your systems, cables and wires are vital to transmitting power and sending control signals and data in a timely and reliable manner.
Cables from the ÖLFLEX Heat Control cable India range maintain their electrical and mechanical properties, ensuring uninterrupted power no matter how severe the conditions.  ÖLFLEX HEAT cables are made with reliable and rugged materials including cross-linked polymers, silicone, fluoropolymers and fiberglass. These components ensure durable performance time and time again—providing optimum uptime and productivity.

Advantages of silicone cable include:

  • Hydrolysis resistance
    • UV resistance
    • Resistant to oils, alcohols, plants and animal fats
    • Withstands temperature as low as -50°C

Advantages of cross-linked cable

• Increased thermal strength
• Improved corrosion and abrasion resistance
• Resistant to solvents, detergents and other operating fluids
• High-temperature resistance suitable for a wide range of applications
• Food and beverage
• Industrial ovens
• Steel and glass foundries
• Industrial furnaces
• Industrial machinery

Background of LAPP Cables
LAPP was founded in 1957 by Oskar Lapp with ÖLFLEX® control cable India being the first industrially produced signal cable in the world. Today Lapp Cables produces cables and conductors for different industries and markets: mechanical and systems engineering, the automotive industry, MSR technology, electrical and installations engineering, EDC and more.
Lapp Cables products are primarily produced in the Lapp Cables group's own production plants. They currently supply 40, 000 standard items from stock and have 39 sales companies, 17 production sites and approximately 100 national partners worldwide while also employing 3,300 people.
Here’s Where It All Began…
In the 1950s, the upswing in industrialization led to a huge demand for cables and conductors. Faced with this development, Oskar Lapp asked himself a simple question…how could he optimise the current time-consuming manual inserting of single cores and switching strands into the outer sheaths? He found his answer by inventing the first industrially produced flexible, colour-coded signal cable -  ÖLFLEX® control cable India. In 1979, Ölflex Inc. USA became the first overseas subsidiary.
Today, Lapp offers the extensive line of OLFLEX® , UNITRONIC®, and ETHERLINE®, cables which include flexible control, continuous flex, torsional, servo, high temperature, and field bus cables, all designed to withstand the rigors of the most demanding factory automation applications.

ETHERLINE® ACCESS, the managed & unmanaged switches

Robust switches for demanding industrial networks The Ethernet technology-based networks are active network components which play an important role in Industrial Ethernet Systems, required by the smart factories of the future. Understanding the increasing demand of Ethernet Technology, Lapp , one of the leading Cable Manufacturers in India launched its new line of switches for Ethernet networks, also known as the best Ethernet solutions in India under the name ETHERLINE® ACCESS. One important value is the reconfiguration time, which is the period until communication is restored following an interruption. In the case of the new switches from Lapp, this period is only 20 milliseconds with 250 active components in the network. Besides this, the switches are fully equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic and redundancy features. Switches are a new line of business for Lapp, Cable Manufacturers in India but this represents an ideal fit for the market leader in integrated cable...
The industrial robots till now were performing complex and repetitive factory processes, but the digitization and technological advancements have increased their applications across various sectors.   Cable manufacturing in India  is entering the era of integration and convergence that will aim at reducing costs with increased safety. Robots of the future will be seen working alongside humans in most Industrial sectors with increased responsibilities. They will be pivotal in implementing Industrial 4.0 by combining technologies that will allow robots to use big data and analytics, make decisions and function autonomously. Industry 4.0 or the industrial internet of things (IIOT) refers to the era where the industrial manufacturing processes equipment, devices, and computers are networked. Today, the use of automation and robots have come a long way and play an integral role in re-shaping and re-defining  Industry 4.0. But, it is not just the robots that ...
