Flat Flexx-Sil™ Tubing Cables
Cicoil, the leader in flexible flat cable technology now offers Highly Durable Flexx-Sil™ Tubing Cables. Combining multiple tubing lines in an easy to use flat configuration is an excellent alternative to loose, bundled, tangled and unprotected tubing assemblies, while also performing as a containment safeguard against possible hazardous leaks.
The new Flexx-Sil™ Tubing Cables are suitable for pneumatics or fluids, and even pod tubes for housing individual wires or fiber optics, making it an ideal solution for medical diagnostic, pharmaceutical processing, biotech, wafer handling, dental, marine, anesthesia delivery, oxygen therapy, waste water inspection, painting robots and automated pick-and-place equipment. Cicoil's Flexx-Sil™ Tubing Cables can incorporate individual or multiple PTFE, PFA, Polyurethane, Tygon® and PVC tubes, and each can be placed anywhere within the flat profile.
Through the use of a patented process of encasing individual components, each Flexx-Sil™ Tubing Cable can also incorporate power wires, shielded signal pairs, Ethernet, Thermocouple, USB, Coax, FireWire, and Cicoil's StripMount™ fastening strip, all combined in a single flat profile precisely controlling the spacing of each component, insulation thickness and overall cable shape. . The unique crystal-clear encasement also enables easy visual inspection of the inner tubing components
The tear resistant Flexx-Sil™ Jacket is Halogen-Free, Non-Corrosive, Low Outgassing and Flame Retardant (UL 94V-0) and is also self-healing from small punctures.
