Page 43 Cicoil Releases New Flat Cable Video


Valencia, CA — Advances in flat cable technology have made flat cables much more viable and dependable for many applications. Flat cables have many technical and performance-enhancing advantages over round cables, which are outlined in the company’s new video, “The Top 5 Reasons to Use Flat Cable in Your Design.” The video can be found on the company’s YouTube chan- nel at www.youtube.com/user/CicoilFlexCables. Flat cables eliminate many of the redundant ma-


terials found in round cable designs which allows for a very compact and flat profile. In fact, flat cables occupy only 50 percent of the space that round cables require, resulting in significant weight and space savings. With advances in machine technology, many


more components are necessary for power, signal and pneumatics, resulting in a spaghetti-like tangle of wires and tubing. This leads to less available space to work with, creates clutter, design problems, reliabili- ty issues and ultimately cable failure. Cicoil’s flat ca- bles allow for a more compact cable package, with better reliability and overall cable performance, especially in continuous flexing applications. Unlike round cables that incur excessive twisting and continuous


O.C. White Extends Working Distance of Microscopes


Thorndike, MA — O.C. White is look- ing to raise the bar for production mi- croscopy with its ProZoom® PZE-4.5 microscopes. The family of micro- scopes provides standard 7 to 45x magnification, with excellent fields of view and working distances. With a standard working dis-


tance of 4.7 in. (11.8 cm), the Pro- Zoom PZE-4.5 has a 34 percent


stress on the inner wires, conductors in a flat cable flex in the same cycle, at the same time, and in the same plane of motion. Cicoil flat cables have an ex- tremely tight bend radius, which allows the cables to fit in very confined and compact spaces. In round cables, wires tend to twist and turn inside the jacket, so the spacing and length of travel varies and constantly changes. Cicoil’s unique flat cables incorporate equally spaced con- ductors/pairs with the exact same distance to travel, resulting in faster signal speeds, less skew and high- er current-carrying capacity. Round cables tend to stress out inner compo-


nents, due to the unequal load sharing required in motion applications. The parallel conductors in a flat cable equally share any stresses and loads, which re-


Cicoil’s flat cables are designed to reduce the mess and tangle of round cables.

greater working distance when com- pared with standard 7 to 45x micro- scopes, typically 3.5 in. (8.8 cm). The optional 0.5x auxiliary lens provides customers with 7.7 in. (19.5 cm). This specially designed microscope offers full 7 to 45x magnification, at a com- parable working distance to standard microscopes with 0.5x lenses (and half the magnification). At home in ESD-critical envi-


ronments, this microscope also in- cludes super-wide 1.1 in. (28 mm) eyepieces for increased operator com- fort over the duration of the work- day. Detent zoom stops are included standard on this model as well, en- abling repeatable and documentable inspection results. O.C. White has been designing


and manufacturing industry specific lighting and inspection products since 1883. The company’s products have been adopted by some of the biggest companies in electronics and aerospace


for mission-critical applications. Contact: O.C. White Company,
