Nexans ties deal with Gottwald

Manufactured at Nexans’ cabling plant at Moenchengladbach in Germany, the specialist data and power transmission cables have been specially modified for this application, to withstand extreme tensile forces and mechanical stress. They will enable Gottwald’s new generation of fully automated, high-speed ASCs to operate at travelling speeds of more than 200 m per minute.

As Franck Müller, sales manager for handling cables at Nexans, explains: “Gottwald Port Technology required highly specialised cables that could withstand the continuous high-speed use associated with this particular type of demanding application. The cables’ integrated optical fibres also have mono and multimode functionality, ensuring future capacity requirements.”
