CABLES
FOR SENSORS

In almost all industrial sectors an electronic measurement, control and automation are of greatest importance. Sensors and mea-
suring technique are closely connected with each other and in many fields you can’t do without. The application range of sensor
technology is far reaching from the collection of factors in process technology via the analysis of product characteristics in the
manufacturing industry as well as in the automated production to the control of products.

Herewith, the exact measurement of physical values like

n pressure n temperature, humidity

n filling level n positioning

n vibration n flow rate

n power n turning moment

k

n speed n ultrasound

n infrared n composition and concentration

of gases and liquids

as well as the adherence of measuring tolerances and production control are of greatest importance.

With more than 60 years of experience in cable manufacturing we are a competent partner for the development and production
of high quality sensor cables. The requirements of our customers are our main concern. We implement the tasks committed to
us with creativity and competence and support the practical realization. It doesn’t matter if a cable out of our production range
has to be modified or if a completely new design is necessary. We guarantee solutions of highest quality with the help of inno-
vation, flexibility, know-how and a quick realization.
