Tinsel

Tailor made shielding

To understand the number of variables involved, it is necessary to know more about the structure of Tinsel and its dimensional characteristics.
• Tinsel core is a textile yarn chosen by type and title according to the application requirements; normally a high tenacity polyester is used, capable of withstanding over 7 g/den loads. Alternative materials can be chosen such as cotton, nylon, glass, technical and very high-performing meta-aramid and para-aramid fibre yarns.
Not being accurate in this choice means limiting the mechanical performance of the product, always having to calibrate them according to the flexibility and workability required by the specific use.
• We perform one or more windings either parallel or crossed of flat metal wire around the yarn; the variables are multiple: from the choice of the material, to its dimensioning (thickness and width of the ribbon), to the winding pitch, which provides a higher or lower covering of the textile core, resulting in a wide range of resistance values.
• Where necessary, the correct sheath is chosen.

Unique technology in 0.1mm diameter

tinsel-centro-colonna1

High resistance to torsional and bending stress.

A strong, clean signal

The final result also depends on the ability to identify premium materials, from qualified and carefully selected suppliers, to meet the highest performance standards.
By combining quality materials with a know-how developed over time, we are able to respond to any request, for a high level shielding that ensures a clean and interference-free signal and also guarantees
Key features, for example, for use in mechanical arms of latest generation robots.
That is why our Tinsel reach such a wide consensus in the special cables field, especially in cables for electro medical equipment, robotics, and telephony.

Our in-house laboratory allows us to test different solutions to achieve superior performance.

A complex project

In order to meet the demands of certain characteristics, it may be necessary to combine several Tinsel strands, even with different windings, stranded or braided according to specific requirements.

The purpose of this process is to achieve significantly low electrical resistance values, while ensuring an unsorpassed softness and flexibility of the cable.

Only the correct calibration of all these parameters, defined in collaboration with customers and their technical teams, along with the manufacturing of the product to top workmanship standards, allows us to obtain that perfect cable that can be used in sophisticated equipment where maximum reliability is the key.
