It would be nice to go online and simply purchase robotic wire or cable for your robotic application. The truth is, selecting the right wire for robotics isn’t that easy. Robotic movements vary and have different levels of demand on the robotic wire. Movement includes repetitive flexing, torsion/twisting and bending at multiple points. Off the …
Medical Hand Piece Cables Cables for medical hand pieces must carry the power, control, sensor and data to and from the hand piece. The cable may be as simple as a two-conductor cable, providing power to a cut & cauterize scalpel or a multi-conductor power, control and sensor cable used on an orthopedic surgery device. …
Silicone insulated wire and cable is an excellent choice for medical cable applications. Besides being extremely flexible, silicone rubbercan withstand autoclave and other forms of sterilization. Properties that make silicone suitable for medical applications include: Low thermal conductivity, low chemical reactivity, low toxicity and thermal stability (consistency of properties over a wide temperature range of 100°C …
Custom wire and cable is often the choice for medical devices due to the complexity of the technology of new devices. Custom medical wires and cables differ from applications in other industries because the medical devices are not only expected to perform but in many cases to withstand sterilization and be bio-compatible as well. When …
Wire is wire right? Why would anyone need custom wire? Wire is constructed differently, it is important to use a wire that was made for your type of application. There are many reasons people turn to custom wire. Custom wire can be manufactured to meet specific requirements such as, high voltage, extreme temperatures, high …
