VALENCIA, CA — Over the decades, Cicoil has supplied thousands of compact cable assemblies for the most sophisti- cated guided missile systems on the planet, and today continues to build upon its legacy by con- tinuing to offer innovative solu- tions for growing new technology applications. The company’s proprietary
Grippers HICKORY, NC — With the GEP2000 grippers, which were successfully launched on the market in 2017, the Zimmer Group launched an electrically driven small parts gripper series primarily designed for assembly tasks and the handling of very small parts. For these tasks, the series,
which is available in four sizes, offers adjustable gripping forces between 80 and 500 N and jaw strokes between 0.24 and 0.63 in. (6 and 16 mm). Recently, the company optimized this proven series with the conversion to -B and expanded to include the gripper variant -03. Now, in addition to the pre-
vious highlights of the series, including 32 programmable workpiece data sets, part recogni- tion down to hundreths of a mil- limeter and adjustable gripping force, two further important functions are added to the new GEP2000-B version. First, it includes free positioning, which allows the gripper to be pre-posi- tioned. This allows the stroke to be flexibly adapted to the work- piece, which saves time in the process and prevents interfering contours. The second feature is a workpiece loss control function. If a workpiece is lost due to exter- nal influences, the gripper now detects it and sends this informa- tion to the control system. All grippers in the GEP2000
series are equipped with an inte- grated control and a mechanical self-locking device that prevent the loss of the workpiece in the event of a power failure. They are available in three control versions — with IO-Link, with digital I/O and with digital I/O in combina- tion with an analog output for sensing jaw position. All GEP2000 grippers also have emergency unlocking as standard, while bidi- rectional data transmission is also
included in the IL version. Contact: Zimmer Group US,

Zimmer Improves Small Parts
Flexx-Sil™ encased flat cables are designed to provide uninter- rupted electrical and signal oper- ation, space and weight savings, optimal cable flexibility, and are suitable wherever unparal- leled performance is critical and cable failure is not an option.
Cicoil utilizes an exclu-
sive process of encapsulat- ing individual components in a unique, shock absorbing Flexx-Sil rubber jacket that renders them unaffected by repeated exposure to severe vibration, compressive force,
g-forces, flames, ice, steam, humidity, hydraulic oils, jet fuels (JP-8, JP-9 and JP-10), opera- tional stress, and the rigors of turbulent flight.
Page 63 Cicoil Offers Flat Cabling for Guided Missiles Cicoil’s standard Flexx-Sil
rubber jacket is flame-retardant (UL 94V-0) and performs flaw- lessly when exposed to continu- ous severe temperatures, –219 to +500°F (–104 to +260°C), and for short periods of time (30 to 45 minutes), have suc- cessfully survived tempera- tures as high as +716°F (+380°C).
