LAPP Receives UL Verification for Continuous Flex Test Method

LAPP is a pioneer in products designed for dynamic cable applications including continuous flexing, torsion, and robotics. The need to perform Continuous Flexing (CF) testing on industrial cable is crucial because of the demands of increasingly challenging industrial applications.

Industrial automation is increasing and the level of movement sophistication of manufacturing machines grows. Robust and reliable flexible connectivity cables are crucial to maintaining operations.

Buyers need to trust the cables they use have been tested to meet the demanding requirements of harsh industrial environments.

LAPP understands these needs and rates all of its products using a stringent set of standards.

The continuous flex testing methods have been meticulously developed over the years combining engineering expertise and experience gained from working with a wide range of manufacturers working in harsh industrial environments.

After evaluating a product’s mechanical and electrical performance, they classify motion type attributes into precise Continuous Flexing (CF) categories which are defined on the LAPP Cable Motion Type & Levels page.

This information helps customers determine the best products for their individual requirements.

LAPP’s Continuous Flex Test Method has now earned UL Verification. UL performed a detailed audit of the continuous flex testing methodology claims of CF-01, CF-02, and CF-03.

The UL audit included requirements of calibrated specialty equipment, a well-trained staff, and controlled documentation in compliance with ISA 17025.

LAPP is the first and only company to receive a UL Verification for a continuous flex test method. This UL Verification is the latest recognition of LAPP’s position as the industry-leading manufacturer of high-quality flexible cables.
