Flat-Ribbon Cabels

Modern automobiles are hi-tech devices, with great expectations in view of quality and reliability. More and more of their functions are controlled directly by means of operating elements integrated directly in the steering wheel. The respective signals are transmitted by way of multiconductor flat-ribbon cables. If you think how many steering wheel motions are performed during the lifetime of an automobile, it becomes evident that these flat-ribbon cables carry a great responsibility.

Dependable, controlled welding of the copper conductors with a cycle time of <1 second per conductor.

Constant quality of the welds, no melting of the plastic embedding, lifetime as high as possible and uncomplicated reworking of the electrodes.

The welding area is defined by forming welding humps. This enables the performance of welds with a minimum of power. The very short welding time prevents an excessive generation of heat in the plastic embedding. The electrodes are flat and may thus be reworked without causing any problems.
