As a multi-core cable, flat cable is first used in electronic computers and electronic instruments. Due to its advantages of easy bending and small wiring space, it is also widely used in civilian appliances such as telephones and recorders. In order to meet different usage requirements, some new flat cables are constantly being developed. The application of the insulation displacement connector makes the termination of the flat cable extremely convenient and reliable. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements on the geometric dimensions of the center distance tolerance of the flat cable, the cumulative error of the center distance and the insulation thickness, so that the flat cable Manufacturing increases the difficulty.
The production process of flat cables is basically similar to that of plastic wiring. In the flat cable forming unit, in addition to adding a flat cable forming device related to the main process of insulating material processing, multi-head pay-off racks, cooling water tanks, spark detectors, tractors and loop forming machines are used in the production of plastic wiring The equipment is basically similar.
