Use Cicoil cables and eliminate bulky, noisy cable tracks.

Cable Carrier tracks can account for 40% or more of the moving mass in motion devices and automated equipment. Cicoil's flat cables allow you to
Go Trackless:

• Reduce energy costs by 40% or more
• Save Space – The bend radius of a Cicoil cable is usually 50% to 75% LESS than a cable carrier, which significantly reduces the size of any motion device.
• Eliminate Noise and Particulates – Cicoil cables are whisper-quiet, and with zero particulates are certified for a Class One clean room.

Typical motion control systems encase separate wires, cables and tubes in a carrier track to contain and manage the separate elements and to constrain their motion. These tracks are usually made of plastic, and they usually have a rather large bend radius, due to their size and rolling link elements design. These tracks do not add performance to the motion device or machine, as they are simply cable management devices. Cable tracks add bulk, mass and inertia to the motion system, and moving this extra mass requires more energy.

Cicoil flat cables are an ideal alternative to cable tracks in many applications. Cicoil flat cables can incorporate any variety of power, signal and video conductors in a single compact cable. In addition to every type of electrical conductor, Cicoil cables can also include tubing for air or liquids, and even fiber-optics. By incorporating all these elements into a single flat cable, motion equipment can be significantly smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient.

Cicoil’s proprietary silicone jacketing is extremely durable, and needs no external “armor” for protection. It resists abrasion and will even self-heal minor nicks. Silicone encapsulation also provides exceptional protection against oils, acids, ozone, steam, and extreme temperatures. In other words, Cicoil cables are ready to run “naked”, in all their lightweight and energy-efficient glory.

Test Cicoil cables for yourself. Many standard cables are available from stock, or have a custom cable made to meet your exact requirements, for little or no tooling charges.
