Project Highlights

Automotive Tier-1 Supplier — Drag Chain Cable Upgrade

A European automotive body-in-white plant operating 120 welding robots experienced cable failures every 8-12 weeks in high-speed drag chain applications, causing approximately 45 minutes of unplanned downtime per incident. After switching to OLFLEX CHAIN 870 P cables — rated for 10 million flex cycles at 3 m/s travel speed — the plant recorded zero drag chain cable failures over 14 months of continuous 3-shift operation. The cable's PUR outer jacket withstood welding spatter, coolant exposure, and ambient temperatures up to +70°C without degradation.

Nordic Data Center — Fiber Trunk Installation

A 15 MW colocation data center in Stockholm required 340 km of structured cabling across 6 data halls within a 16-week construction window. Lapp supplied pre-terminated OM4 fiber trunk assemblies with MPO-12 connectors, reducing on-site termination time by 68% compared to the original field-splice plan. The LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen Free) cable jacket met EN 50575 Euroclass B2ca fire classification — a requirement for the facility's insurance underwriter. Total installation was completed 11 days ahead of schedule.
