High Flex Silicone Cables for Medical Automation
Valencia, CA - Cicoil, the world's premier manufacturer of flexible flat silicone cables and assemblies now offers standard "off-the-shelf" and custom made cables for high performance medical automation, diagnostics and pharmaceutical processing applications.
Cicoil's light-weight cables can incorporate any variety of power, data and video conductors in a single compact cable design. In addition to every type of electrical conductor, the cables can also include single and multi-lumen tubing for air or liquid transfer, and even fiber optics, all in the same cable. The cables are also 100% contaminant-free, as they are rated for Class 1 clean room use. Incorporating multiple elements into a single, compact flat cable makes medical equipment significantly smaller, quieter and more energy efficient.
The silicone encapsulation provides a solid, one-piece construction that creates a highly durable cable package that will not break, deform or wear during a lifetime of more than 10 million cycles, even under high speed flexing or tight bending radius conditions. Cicoil's exclusive silicone extrusion process also delivers advantages in extreme environments, including temperatures ranging from -65C to +260C, and the cables are impervious to water, steam, UV light and most chemicals.
Cicoil's UL Recognized, RoHS Compliant & CE Conforming cables exceed the outgassing requirements of ASTM E-585 and NASA 1124. For additional abrasion resistance, Cicoil offers anti-friction coating options.
Cicoil has been a leader in designing and manufacturing high performance cable assemblies for over fifty years. The company's unique silicone coated flat cables provide high flexibility, extremely long life, and they can withstand temperature extremes from -65 degrees to +260 degrees Celsius. Cicoil's cables are used in thousands of demanding applications; including aircraft fuel control cells, semiconductor automation, and the Space Shuttle.
