Cable harnesses for mining transport technology: quickly custom made

18.01.2023    #custom made  #mining industry  #transport technology  
The flexibility of our production allows us to respond quickly to unusual needs of our customers. And so the control and data cable harnesses produced by us can also be found in mining trucks.

We are not just a classic serial manufacturer of products from catalog pages. We can flexibly deliver an unique custom made solution. And such a solution does not even have to consist for the most part of our products. The latest such example is the express production of 18 different cable harnesses containing automotive connectors of different brands.

We developed and manufactured these cable harnesses according to the customer's basic drawings. We ourselves enriched the assignment with experience from already implemented advanced solutions for transport and mining technology. After full agreement on the project, production took only three days.

The harnesses in the truck connect the peripherals (eg servomotors, lighting, horn) and the control unit. They consist of AUX connectors for voltage up to 25 V and connectors for data transmission. In total, the harness consists of five to ten multi-pole connectors. Although maximum resistance was not a priority, our solution fulfills and exceeds the specification. Harnesses can withstand mechanical stress (joint movement, trampling down) and climatic influences.

Do you want to develop an unique connection solution for your project, or supply cable harnesses tailored to your established equipment? Thanks to our own development team, universal production and many years of experience in various industrial fields, we will quickly find a solution for you too!

 
 
 

One-ton cable harness for explosive environment

20.06.2022    #TEX  # ATEX  # EX  # Mining  # Drilling  # Oil Rig  #  
The new EX / ATEX-certified cable harness measures more than 46 meters, weighs over 1 tonne and ends on each side with the extremely durable connectors of the TENEO TEX series.

The mighty TENEO power cable harness will serve for the safe transmission of high voltage between the terrestrial electrical switchboard and the top of the drilling rig. In a potentially explosive atmosphere, the 690 V distribution is ensured not only by the durable braiding of the cabling, but also by the spark-proof connectors of the TENEO TEX series, which in all respects exceed the requirements of ATEX certification.

The harness consists of three separate electrical phases and one ground conductor. For a trouble-free placement in the construction of the drilling set, we designed a 46-meter-long bundle: the initial 8 meters of the cable harness are branched into three separate conductors for easy connection to the switchboard, the last meter then forms the end for connecting appliances at the top of the tower. For the final segment, we tailor-made massive stainless steel handles that simply fit into the existing load-bearing structure.

Because it is an installation in a hazardous environment in the mining industry, we have connected TENEO TEX single-pin connectors to both ends of the cable harness. They can transmit up to 990 A / 1,000 V and thus exceed customer requirements by almost 40%. Their spark-resistant construction and fully hermetically sealed connection to the conductor make the TENEO TEX series an ideal solution for gaseous atmospheres with a risk of explosion and for installations with the need for compatibility with established Amphenol or Winchester products.

This cable harness is further proof of our ability to efficiently produce tailor-made solutions that are not only quickly available to the customer, but also cost-effective.

You can see photos from the cable harness assembly in the gallery. A time-lapse video from the final stage of packing and preparing the expedition is below.

 
 
 

New cable harness for Bentec 350 drilling rig

11.08.2021    #TEX  #MND  #EP  #ATEX  #Mining  
This week we completed a 62 meter long cable harness equipped with robust TEX series connectors (EP / ATEX) and custom-made holders.

Custom made cable harness TENEO TEX AUX newly provides Power supply of auxiliary equipment of the drilling set of the company MND Drilling & Services a.s.. Due to its location in the epicenter of an explosive gas atmosphere, our solution exceeds the requirements of ATEX certification and thus conducts energy in each of the 19 conductors safely and in all conditions.

This is mainly due to the use of TENEO TEX series connectors. We have fine-tuned their construction for the specific needs of the mining industry. However, not only the connector itself is spark-proof. We also solve fully hermetically the connection of the connector to the cable. Long time developed TENEO potting compound uncompromisingly seals the joint and withstands extreme environmental conditions.

In addition, we have designed special stainless steel handles for this 225 kg giant. With this customization, we ensured a trouble-free attachment of the TENEO cable harness to the already existing Bentec hinges without the need for additional costs for the modification of the supporting structure.

We are pleased to be able to customers such as MND Drilling & Services a.s. provide comprehensive tailor-made solutions - everything from design and project, through construction, own production, assembly to international guarantees.

You can see how we finalized the EP cable harness in the video below.
