CABLE TIE SOLUTIONS
September 1st 2005

A range of automatic cable tie solutions from Panduit provides fast harness bundling.

The PAT1M, PAT1.5M and PAT2S systems are used in high volume applications, such as harness houses for the automotive and white goods markets or packaging to dramatically improve manufacturing productivity.

Using a PAT system, total bundle assembly time is said to be six times faster than manual installations. Each system can apply a tie around a bundle, adjust the bundle to size and secure the tie in less that 1sec. Systems feature ergonomic, lightweight tool heads to reduce operator fatigue and RSI.

A new Ethernet-enabled dispenser and data interface software provides an RJ45 connection to Ethernet networks for advanced production monitoring and performance tracking.

The new PAT2S system uses reel-fed nylon cable ties with a high loop tensile strength of 220N. Ties are available in three materials, including heat stabilised nylon, and allow for large bundling applications of up to 51mm dia.
