Automotive

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving with advancing technology and changing customer demands. Today's vehicles are equipped with complex electrical systems and high-tech components. For these systems to function healthily and reliably, it's crucial to securely connect and protect the cables. This is where cable harnesses come into play and hold great importance in the automotive sector.

Cable harnesses are connection elements used to keep, protect, and organize the electrical components of vehicles. These harnesses ensure the safety of electrical contacts, provide insulation for cables, and shield them from external factors. But why are they so important?

Machine & Automation Building

Bimed has an extensive range of plastic and metallic glands as well as cable plate entry systems suitable for various machine building applications. This includes a range of standard industrial cable glands as well as more specialist solutions such as plastic glands with split seals for RJ45/USB pre-connected cables. We also manufacture a range of EMC glands and cable plates allowing multiple connectorized or standard cables to be fitted into a much smaller footprint than cable glands, for where space is limited. There is also a large range of straight, 45° and 90° fittings suitable for plastic and metallic conduit systems, plastic couplers, drain plugs and other interconnection accessories.

Power & Energy

The power and energy sector is the backbone of modern society, responsible for electricity generation and distribution, among other critical tasks. Cable glands play a critical role in power generation and distribution networks by providing secure and reliable connections between cables and electrical equipment. Here are some of the key functions they perform:

Robotics & Industrial Automation

In the robotics and industrial automation sector, cable harnesses play a critical role in the reliability, performance, and efficiency of automation systems. Here are some key points explaining the importance of cable harnesses in this sector:

  • Cable Management: Robotics and industrial automation systems often have complex cable networks. Cable harnesses keep these cables organized, reducing cable clutter and facilitating access during installation or maintenance. This ensures that systems operate more smoothly and efficiently.
  • Protection: Industrial environments can pose potentially harmful conditions for cables, such as abrasion, impact, rain, or chemicals. Cable harnesses protect cables from such external factors and prevent damage. This enhances system reliability and helps prevent failures.

Mining

The mining industry was the birthplace of hazardous area cable glands after it was learned centuries ago that the gases and dusts present in mines were often the cause of catastrophic explosions and so preventative measures were developed to help stop these disasters. In the modern day, these cable glands are tested to EN 60079 and approved for Group I mining applications. Bimed has a range of group I mining approved cable glands and termination accessories for both armoured and non-armoured cables, as well as barrier glands for non-effectively filled cables.The mining industry was the birthplace of hazardous area cable glands after it was learned centuries ago that the gases and dusts present in mines were often the cause of catastrophic explosions and so preventative measures were developed to help stop these disasters.
