• Significantly increase the life expectancy of sensors and their associated connectivity in harsh weld cell environments.

• Heat and slag build up cause sensors, cables, and connectors to prematurely fail in the weld cell environment.

• New Pro-Rap silicone self-fusing tape sheds slag and protects cabling from up to 500°F of ambient heat.

Pro-Rap™ helps to increase control survivability to months/ years rather than days / weeks, while decreasing the need for productivity wasting maintenance stoppages and increasing the quality of welded products and the welds themselves.

Pro-Rap™ Self-Fusing Silicone Tape in the form of 2" wide self-fusing wrap to stop or vastly delay weld slag build-up on susceptible cable connections which destroy the integrity and its IP67 rating.

Problem: Sensor Cable Burn-Through

Weld slag burns through and destroys conventional cabling. It’s weight often pulls the cable away from the connector, exposing it to even more damage.

• Sensor/cable connections are a major point of failure. Connectors need to be designed to withstand the hostile weld cell environment. If a sensor cable’s connection has too much stress from slag build up or if it has the wrong angle, tension and pressure on the connection will cause premature failure. Heat, slag accumulation, and flexing of the cable cause connectors to break at the most vulnerable location.

• Most sensor types are generally hard-wired to M12 DC Micro or M8 Nano-style connectors. One of the largest problems with sensors in weld cells revolves around the issue of cable/connector burn through.

• Apply a total heat and slag solution to your sensors, cabling, and connectors. Specialty protective products such as; silicone tubing and weld jacket sheets are available on request. This system guards the cable and secures the jacket in its proper location while sealing remaining connectivity components against harsh, hot weld spray.
