Poor cable management can compromise the safety of production areas. Satech Steel Cable Trunking keeps cables gathered, protected and organised, avoiding damage and obstacles to daily operations.
Disorganised Cabling: Potential Operational Complications
Disorganised cabling can create difficulties during daily use and maintenance activities. The most common critical issues are:
- Reduced accessibility: disorganised cables can obstruct access to control buttons, stopping devices or rapid intervention points
- Indirect risks: improperly secured cabling can increase the risk of tripping or create confusion in emergency situations
- Lack of “good practice”: several standards refer to the concept of installations built to good workmanship. Visibly disorganised cabling can be considered an indication of poor design care, with possible requests for adaptation, especially in regulated sectors (food, pharmaceutical, automotive)
- Undetected damage: any damage to cables may not be immediately evident and manifest itself later, with consequences on the operation of control systems.
Chaotic cabling, even if technically functional, can therefore increase intervention times, complicate maintenance and negatively affect overall operational efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions – Steel Cable Trunking
When should Steel Cable Trunking be ordered?
The optimal time to order Steel Cable Trunking is together with Perimeter Guarding, already during the layout design phase. In this way, compatibility, economic efficiency and coordinated installation are achieved in a single delivery. Ordering the trunking at a later stage may instead require reworking, generate additional costs and, in some cases, cause machine downtime.
Which Satech standard doors is Steel Cable Trunking compatible with?
The system is compatible with Satech single and double hinged doors, via mounting on crossbar, and with upper guide sliding doors, with front fixing hidden behind the guide (maximum width 1500 mm).
Which size of Steel Cable Trunking should be chosen?
The choice of Steel Cable Trunking section depends on the quantity and type of cabling that needs to be contained. In installations with a limited number of connections, the 60×60 mm section may be sufficient, whilst for more complex cabling or that requiring greater capacity, the 60×100 mm and 60×200 mm versions are available. All models have a standard length of 3000 mm and can be cut and joined together to adapt precisely to the installation layout.
Is it possible to install Satech Steel Cable Trunking on existing Perimeter Guarding?
Yes, Satech Steel Cable Trunking is compatible with all Satech posts with 40, 50 and 60 mm sections and can be installed both on new Perimeter Guarding and on guards already in use. The trunking supports allow rapid installation even on already assembled structures, without the need to disassemble the system. We recommend contacting your Satech representative to verify compatibility in case of installations of systems prior to July 2023.
What are the delivery times for Satech Steel Cable Trunking?
Satech Steel Cable Trunking is a standard in stock product; therefore, the standard order preparation time is 6 business days.
