Air Cooled Jumpers
Our air-cooled jumpers are engineered for durability in high-heat applications. These cables minimize rigidity through specialized materials and clearance tolerances, offering flexibility and longevity. With lead times of 37 days, they are ideal for industries requiring reliable, quick-turn solutions for resistance welding processes.
Water Cooled Jumpers
Water-cooled jumpers feature advanced cooling systems to extend cable life. Designed with extra-large water openings, they prevent blockages and ensure efficient heat dissipation. These cables are essential for high-demand environments, with lead times of 714 days and same-day emergency availability.
Dual Conductor Cables
Dual-conductor 'Kickless' cables use alternate polarity to reduce vibration and AC voltage drop. Their mechanically strong terminals ensure 100% conductivity, while patented designs like the Swivel King allow 180-degree twists with minimal pressure, enhancing robotic welding efficiency.
Cable Repair Services
Our repair services restore water-cooled cables through cleaning, insulation replacement, and terminal reconditioning. We offer partial recovery or full rebuilds, with credits for recyclable materials. This cost-effective solution minimizes downtime and extends product lifecycles for industrial clients.
Laminated Shunts
Laminated shunts deliver precision in resistance welding applications. Built to automotive standards, these copper-laminated components ensure accurate current distribution. With a 2-week lead time, they are critical for maintaining quality and efficiency in high-volume production environments.
