At Helukabel, when we receive a request for a special cable from one of our customers, the work begins in our cable design department. Their job is to develop solutions that meet unique and often technically complex requirements. This requires a lot of know-how and expertise.
Customized solutions are one of HELUKABEL's strengths – and their development would not be possible without the “Cable Design” department, which is located at our production facility in Windsbach, Germany. “Our customers come to us with wishes and requirements that are not easy to achieve with standard products,” describes department head Ömer Durak. “So we then try to design cables and conductors that are perfectly suited to the application in question.
“Durak's team consists of people who are technically very skilled - after all, they have to deal with new challenges almost every day. “A good example is hybrid cables, where we combine electrical conductors, data cables and hoses, such as for oil or compressed air, all in one cable,” says Durak. “No two cables are the same.” Researching and developing new materials that have special advantages for certain applications is also one of the tasks of his department.
At the same time, new product developments must comply with various standards and regulations so that they can be used for their intended use. “Here we benefit from being able to build on a wide range of standard products that have been approved,” Durak explains. “This means that we do not always have to start from scratch, but that we can also adapt existing designs to your wishes.” For all requests, the cable design department works closely with colleagues from the technical sales team and with the customers themselves.
Once the technical parameters have been determined, a sample of the new cable is first produced in our factory in Windsbach. “This is risk-free for our customers and allows them to check whether our solution meets all their requirements,” assures Durak. As soon as the cable has been approved by the user, HELUKABEL starts series production. “Having all the product development and production expertise in-house is a great advantage, because it allows us to offer everything from a single source,” Durak summarizes and emphasizes: “Our team is only satisfied when the customer is too.”
