Highly flexible air cooled braided connectors
used in welding guns
Where current connections within welding guns have to
perform movements in all 3-dimensions, a particularly high
degree of flexibility is required. Our braided connectors
consisting of several layers of highly flexible braided copper
tapes with a single wire-Ø of 0,10 mm are used here. At the
ends seamless copper contact sleeves are pressed-on under
high pressure without using any other materials. The connection
areas are flared towards the stranded wires as kink protection.
We use our flat braided copper tapes that we manufacture
in our company as the basic material. The conductor structure
and the braiding angles are designed for carrying out also
movements. With a correct dimensioning, very good service
lives can be achieved. For welding gun applications we supply
connections according to customer standard, sample or
drawing with connection surfaces of 30 - 50 mm width
consisting of several layers like
