Connection technology meets 3D printing (www.industrial-production.de)

Flexible connector solutions from the printer

3D printing is becoming increasingly important in series production and enables flexible, fast and precise production processes. The example of the Lapp Group shows how additive processes help to efficiently implement customer requirements and realize innovative connector solutions.

Proprietary plastic compounds for extreme conditions

Cables must reliably transmit energy, data and signals, even in extreme cold or heat or under heavy mechanical stress. Specially developed plastics ensure that the cables remain robust and resistant. Lapp produces its own plastic compounds.

If the standard cable is not sufficient

Lapp offers cables for countless applications - but not for all of them. From time to time, the developers have to modify a standard cable or develop a special cable.

How a cable is made

The production of power cables follows a largely standardized process. An earthing or protective conductor, a neutral conductor and a current-carrying wire are located under a protective plastic sheath.

Novelties "Made in Germany"

Connectors are an essential part of Lapp's product business. These are marketed under the Epic brand name and produced in Stuttgart. In order to capture new market shares, Lapp has prescribed a fitness cure for its connector division.

Connector Product Portfolio expanded

Lapp is presenting a range of new connectors at the SPS. These include, for example, the redesign of the ‚Epic‘ rectangular connector housings of the H-B and H-A series.

Decentralized acquisition and control of process data

Premiere at the SPS: LAPP is launching remote I/O devices that support IO-Link technology for the first time. This further rounds off the company's portfolio in the field of industrial communication.

Movement through connections

Lapp brought reliable connection solutions for networked machines and processes to Hanover. The company demonstrated how important the smooth interaction of all components is with its trade fair exhibit, which combines renewable energies, intralogistics and direct current in the factory environment.

Evolution in five stages

Customers are not looking for products, but for solutions to their problems. For companies, this means that they have to transform themselves from product providers to solution providers. Science divides this path into five evolutionary stages, whereby many companies have already left the first stage of pure manufacturer behind them.

Sustainable product design

On September 28, Martin Guserle from U.I. Lapp will speak at the online conference about the safe disconnection and connection of cables.

Direct current: A turnaround without change

Direct current is becoming increasingly important. The long-term phase-out of fossil fuels can also only be achieved efficiently if there is a consistent switch to DC electricity in order to avoid conversion losses.

Accurate forecast for cable wear

If a cable is moved thousands of times over the years, it will eventually reach the end of its service life and need to be replaced. Until now, finding the right time has been a lottery.
