In the last 10 years, Bonded Wire is an area that SWC has developed for many of its Custom Cable Manufacturers.
The Process of Bonded Wire was developed to aid Design Engineers in distributing Electrical Wires in products when more common Round Cable's wouldn't fit, or when Individual Conductors needed to Break Out of the Cables Jacket and terminate to different points in an Appliance. When Bonded Wire is used externally on a Medical Patient Device or Appliance, it adds a Pleasing Aesthetic Element promoting Organization and Functionality.
In the past, the Adhesive Bonding Process was done by positioning the Wires side by side in a guide wheel, smothering them in an adhesive, and then curing the glue. This Process was Slow and Messy.
Fast forward to 2005, the Engineers at SWC were made aware of the need for a more efficient Bonding System and decided that there's a better way to Bond Wire. Enlisting the help of the Company Lister. CH, Systems Wire Technicians developed and built its first Thermal Bonding Line.
Thermal Bonding is a process of using Hot Air to join multiple Conductors of the same polymer to one another. While Thermal Bonding can be done with a wide variety of polymers, it does have some limitations in regards to Crosslinked and Flame Retardant materials.
With that being said, SWC Thermal Bonding process has evolved to be the go-to source of adhering Wire Conductors to one another without the Contamination, Mess, and Added Expense when comparing it to the Flood Adhesive Bonding process. No Glue means No Voids, Gas Bubbles, or Material Stripping Witnesses from when the Material is separated to terminate.
SWC is always willing to provide Samples on new projects for Qualification and Compatibility Testing as well as Quoting purposes. While the boundaries of this process seem somewhat limitless, we are restricted to quote only constructions with Finished Product Widths Less than 1.0 inch Wide.
When it's time to make that bunch of loose wires look aesthetically pleasing, let SWC straighten them out for you.
Please give Systems Wire a call and let us put our 35 years of experience to work for you, and remember, there’s never a charge for design and consulting assistance.
