This market is driven by the needs to meet the best in lean manufacturing. To achieve this every piece of equipment in this sector is pushed for greater efficiency by working more intensely and faster. As a result any conduit installed in these applications will need to provide excellent mechanical strength, flexibility and abrasion resistance in order to supply the best possible solution to provide protection along the entire length of all the moving parts.

In this hardworking environment of both dynamic and static applications it is essential that any cable management products continue to deliver performance in areas where resistance to oils and chemicals is paramount. Any down time in manufacturing can be very costly so products that can offer high ingress protection are fundamental and Adaptaflex can offer a wide range of solutions to meet all of these needs.

Technology is increasingly being used in modern machine tools and the need to interface conduit to multipin-connectors is escalating. Nylon systems continue to gain popularity in this sector due to their excellent performance, flexibility and low installed cost benefits. For this reason Adaptaflex has developed a wide range of liquid tight connector interfaces in the Adaptalok range.
