Gore Launches Online Configurator For High Flex-Life Flat and Trackless Cables with 5 Day Lead Times
ELKTON, MD (September, 2005) - W. L. Gore & Associates has introduced an industry first - an online interactive design guide that provides simple step-by-step instructions for configuring GORE™ High Flex Flat Cable or GORE™ Trackless Cable from standard components, with 5 day lead times.
Gore's new High Flex Flat Cable and Trackless Cable Configurator - available at www.gore.com/designacable - simplifies the cable design process and generates a 3D downloadable CAD model via a quick, streamlined step-by-step procedure. Users can take an interactive tour to learn more about the GORE High Flex Flat Cable and Trackless Cable Configurator, and then proceed to design a cable and submit an RFQ using the simple step-by-step configuration tool.
Gore's standard cable offering includes all of the components necessary to drive and control a motion system: shielded/unshielded power and signal, video, Ethernet, IEEE 1394, fiber optic and pneumatic lines. The bundling of electrical and pneumatic lines into one low profile allows for a simpler cable management system.
GORE High Flex Flat Cable can be used in an energy chain or cable track and will provide a smaller package solution, allowing better utilization of space. GORE High Flex Flat Cable is available in two forms: Spooled Cable for higher volumes to ensure lower unit costs and Discrete Length Cable built to required lengths with ends prepped for termination and no minimum order quantities. GORE Trackless Cable eliminates the need for cable track, along with the problems typically associated with cable track such as particulation, vibration, weight and size.
GORE High Flex Flat Cables and the GORE Trackless Cables are designed and tested to achieve 10 million cycles on a 2" (50 mm) bend radius. They leverage Gore's years of experience in designing, manufacturing, and testing high flex cables. Customers are provided a reliable cable solution that meets challenging performance limits and helps them stay ahead of the competition.
Gore's world-class flex lab and experienced applications engineering team helps their customers to deliver product to market quicker. In addition, their hybrid cable designs can also accommodate various components to meet specific needs.
