We needed a better cable in critical areas of our control system so TPC showed us their Super-Trex® and Trex-Onics® products but TPC challenged us to try anything to cause a failure. We decided to try the most abusive thing we could think of — run the cable over with a 60,000 lb track rig. When the initial test didn’t cause a failure, we performed a 0 degree turn, pivoting directly on the cable. The only damage to the cable was the abraded outer casing. Since this experiment 3 years ago, we have been using Super-Trex® and Trex-Onics® for our mission-critical cable assemblies, without a failure.

High heat cable saves steel customer over 15k in less than one year – Download the case study

Case Study: Steel plant updates tripper machine welding cable

Markets Served - Steel & Aluminum

Customer Problem:

A steel plant customer had a 150' run of 600 volt welding cable that was only lasting 6 months before needing to replace it. It would get pretty beat up when it would get dragged over sharp metal pieces. They also needed it to stay flexible in the outdoor application.

TPC Solution:

Even though TPC cable was almost double the price per foot, they replaced the cable in 20 welding units with TPC’s 600 volt 2/0 welding cable.

A High-Flex Cable That Doesn’t Disappoint:

The customer hasn’t had to replace the cable in the welding/tripper machine applications for 70 months! This is a material cost savings of over $172,000 and a labor cost savings of over $150,000. Over a nearly 6-year time frame, it saved over 5,560 production hours.
