What innovative technologies do the products of control cable manufacturers have?

The product innovation technologies of control cable manufacturers are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Material innovation

High-performance insulating materials: By using new types of insulating materials, such as those with higher temperature resistance, pressure resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, the service life and reliability of cables can be enhanced. For instance, some manufacturers use special insulating materials such as fluoroplastics, which can maintain excellent insulating performance in harsh environments like high temperatures and strong corrosion.

Environmentally friendly materials: In response to environmental protection requirements, degradable, low smoke zero halogen and other environmentally friendly materials are adopted. Low smoke zero halogen materials produce less smoke and have low toxicity when burning, which can reduce the harm to the environment and human health. They are especially suitable for crowded places and projects with high environmental protection requirements.

High-strength sheath material: To enhance the mechanical properties of the cable, sheath materials with high strength, wear resistance and tear resistance are used. Materials like polyurethane and nylon can effectively protect the internal structure of cables, prevent damage caused by external forces, and enhance the adaptability of cables in complex environments.

Innovation in structural design

Multiple shielding structure: To enhance the anti-interference capability of the cable, a multiple shielding design is adopted, such as adding copper tape shielding, aluminum foil shielding or braided shielding outside the insulation layer. Multiple shielding can effectively isolate external electromagnetic interference, ensuring clear signal transmission. It is suitable for industrial sites with complex electromagnetic environments and areas with dense electronic equipment.

Shenhua Electric Group (Anhui) Co., LTD. High Flexibility Structure: For some application scenarios that require frequent movement or bending, such as robots and automated production lines, highly flexible cable structures are designed. By using multiple strands of fine copper wire stranded conductors, soft insulating materials and special sheath structures, the cable has excellent flexibility and anti-bending performance, and can withstand multiple bends without affecting its performance.

Special arrangement structure: For multi-core control cables, special core arrangements such as star type and twisted type are adopted, which can reduce crosstalk between cores and improve the accuracy and stability of signal transmission.

Innovation in manufacturing process

Automated production process: Introduce advanced automated production equipment and technologies to achieve the automation and intelligence of the production process. Automated production lines can enhance production efficiency, product consistency and quality stability, reduce the impact of human factors on product quality, and lower production costs at the same time.

Precision processing techniques: During the cable manufacturing process, precise processing techniques such as high-precision stranding, extrusion, and winding are adopted to ensure that the dimensional accuracy and performance indicators of the cables meet high standards. For instance, by precisely controlling the twist pitch and tension, the electrical and mechanical performance of the cable can be enhanced.

Online inspection process: Establish an online inspection system to monitor and test the various performances of cables in real time during the production process, and promptly identify and eliminate quality risks. Common online detection items include insulation resistance, conductor resistance, withstand voltage test, partial discharge detection, etc., which can effectively ensure product quality and improve production efficiency.

Functional innovation

Intelligent monitoring function: Some control cable manufacturers integrate intelligent monitoring components such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and stress sensors into the cables to achieve real-time monitoring of the cable's operating status. Through these sensors, information such as the temperature, humidity and force on the cables can be obtained in a timely manner, so as to detect potential faults in advance and carry out preventive maintenance.

Fireproof and flame-retardant functions: Develop control cables with fireproof and flame-retardant properties, using flame-retardant insulating materials and sheath materials, or adding fireproof and flame-retardant layers in the cable structure. These cables can delay the spread of fire when encountering a fire, reduce the harm of fire to equipment and personnel, and ensure the safety of power and signal transmission.

Low and high temperature resistance functions: In response to the temperature requirements of different working environments, develop control cables that are resistant to low or high temperatures. For instance, cables used in cold regions are made of low-temperature resistant materials and can maintain good flexibility and electrical performance in low-temperature environments. Cables that operate in high-temperature environments, on the other hand, are made of high-temperature resistant materials and can withstand higher temperatures without experiencing performance degradation.
