Bringing industries to life - that is our purpose. Since 1958, when Oskar Lapp invented the first industrially manufactured control cables, LAPP has been providing customized and individual solutions for the needs of our customers. Our goal: to help them get the best out of their industries.

Customers expect internationally operating companies to meet uniform quality standards worldwide. Quality assurance at a high level is therefore mandatory. “Tested under laboratory conditions” sounds good – but it also means knowing and compensating for the influence of environmental conditions. This is the only way to guarantee valid results.

WAGO's new 758-918 Wireless ETHERNET Gateway is ideal for wireless data transmission in machinery and equipment applications. This robust device, which has an internal directional antenna and provides an IP65 degree of protection, can be installed directly in the field, for example on a machine. The version with an optional external antenna is ideal for use in a control cabinet or in locations with poor reception.

Climate change is obvious and the subject of intense debate. To slow global down global warming, CO2 emissions must be drastically reduced worldwide. The German government has set itself the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030 (related to the base year 1990). Industry plays a key role on the way towards climate neutrality. LAPP believes that it has a responsibility to contribute to the saving of CO2 emissions.

Presbeton from the Czech Republic produces concrete goods. Previously, a cable trolley system was used here. With the support of LAPP, Presbeton has now upgraded to a drag chain system and can now produce more efficiently and, above all, without downtimes.

Anyone who has ever connected a lamp to the mains knows the structure of a cable: inside the plastic sheath there are usually three wires: a green-yellow wire, the ground or protective conductor, a blue wire, the neutral conductor, and a current-carrying brown or black wire. A closer look reveals that each of these wires is made up of multiple twisted copper strands, fine, conductive strings of copper that can carry power and signals. This is the basic structure of every wire. But how do these components actually come together?
