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
