production process can be promptly identified and rectified. This not only enhances product quality but also streamlines the production process, resulting in reduced defects and rework. The FFT and SRL analysis tool provides a range of advantages for cable manufacturers. Continuous monitoring throughout the production process allows for the early detection and resolution of potential issues. With a combination of 16-bit resolution and 10kHz sampling rate across up to six channels, detailed analysis of parameters such as diameter and capacitance ensures an accurate assessment of cable quality. Automated analysis and rapid response times enable the optimisation of

As a manufacturer of specialised machinery for the cable industry, Kurre Systems develops not only new machines, but also control systems and software solutions. Its latest offering is aimed at advancing the standards of quality assurance in the cable manufacturing process: the FFT and SRL analysis. In the cable production industry, extrusion and downstream processes are monitored and analysed to ensure quality standards. Kurre’s system integrates top-tier sampling rates with extensive resolution, facilitating comprehensive and precise real-time analysis. Using cutting-edge algorithms, even slight deviations and errors within the

New solutions to support robust and reliable communications

signalling line circuit (SLC) loop cables are described as a reliable option for critical applications. Lumberg Automation M12 rail crimp connectors allow installers to cut custom cable lengths on-site, to align with specific requirements for train builds or retrofits. Designed to withstand harsh rolling stock environments, they perform despite vibration, salt spray, welding sparks, chemical exposure or external force. Belden Inc www.belden.com

ProSoft Technology Modbus routers enable Ethernet/IP™, Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus RTU connectivity for field devices. Users can send device data to a processor or SCADA system to monitor industrial processes. In data acquisition and transmission, Belden’s new OSDP cables meet enhanced European safety standards to guard against reaction to fire. The cables offer enhanced functionality and security features for environments with low electromagnetic noise. 5320UV and 5220UV cables are the latest additions to the company’s portfolio of addressable fire alarm cables. The
