Case studies of wiring flexible tube introduction
Company S is a manufacturer of various manufacturing equipment for sanitary products, etc. They became interested in wiring flexible tubes after seeing the products at Kowa Kasei’s booth at an exhibition.
There was a place where wiring was fixed with binding bands along an aluminum frame. By using this product, it became possible to improve workability and protect the electric wires, and by using a silver color type similar to the aluminum frame, the appearance of the equipment improved. Company S is very pleased with these benefits.
In addition, with eight color variations, their customer was very pleased that they could use different colored tubes by system or use their corporate colors, improving appearance.
