Materials Testing Is Critical for Continuous-Flex Cables

If the cables you plan to use in your system design require continuous movement, there are several considerations that must be taken into consideration. Carefully pairing continuous-flex cables with cable carrier systems – also known as e-chains – is critical in preventing damage to manufacturing systems and interruptions that result from that damage.   Cables inside e-chains during high-speed movement tests.
