LAPP expands portfolio for the industry of tomorrow

This is one reason why LAPP is expanding its already extensive intralogistics product portfolio with new variants in line with customer requirements, with the aim of ensuring more efficient and future-proof material flows.

The new products include, for example, the UNITRONIC BUS ASI for fixed installation and the UNITRONIC BUS ASI FD for continuous use. Both data cables are designed for fieldbus communication via AS-Interface.

LAPP customers can choose between different sheath materials. With long-distance variants and UL versions, the connection specialist offers practical solutions for a wide range of application requirements. The cables are also available in various jacket colours in accordance with international specifications - and now also in grey, specifically for the transmission of auxiliary power with 48 volts DC.

Fibre optic cables for solar and wind farms

With its HITRONIC fibre optic cables, LAPP has been offering cables suitable for the transmission of large amounts of data for many years - copper-free and interference-free, tap-proof and at almost the speed of light. Now, with the HITRONIC BxK and the HITRONIC BTxK, the connection solutions expert is launching two new outdoor fibre optic cables with single-mode fibres in accordance with ITUT G.657.A1, which enable simple and uncomplicated installation even in confined spaces. The fibres can even cope with tight bends without any loss of signal. Both versions are suitable for use in WAN networks, extremely versatile and can be laid directly in the ground. They are therefore ideal for solar and wind farms.

The HITRONIC BxK with halogen-free outer sheath does not generate any electromagnetic interference thanks to its metal-free materials. It is suitable for permanent installation in pipes and closed installation ducts as well as for medium mechanical stress. The HITRONIC BTxK, which is also halogen-free, has very high tensile strength thanks to its reinforced glass yarns and can withstand very high mechanical loads. Its resistant outer sheath makes it robust during installation and operation and provides additional protection against water ingress in the longitudinal direction after mechanical damage. It is also suitable for open installation on cable trays.

EPIC for simple connections

The EPIC brand covers all industrial connectors manufactured by LAPP. Last year, the company reorganised its entire range, redesigned its connectors and launched numerous new products. LAPP is now continuing this development with a whole range of new products and product enhancements: at the Hannover Messe 2025, the company presented the EPIC M23 A3 Quickflex, the pioneer of a new generation of connectors. The M23 motor connector, which can be used directly on the servo motor, is now also available with a 6- or 9-pin plug configuration. LAPP also offers a chromated version for subsequent painting in the desired colour.

LAPP's EPIC POWERLOCK connectors are suitable for generators and electric motors. But even when it comes to transmitting high currents for mobile applications, single-pole circular connectors are a must. They are used, for example, in shipping and for cabling live events. Thanks to their integrated release function, they can be quickly connected and disconnected without the need for special tools.

The single-pole circular connector is available in four different sizes and with three connection types, making it extremely versatile. It can be screwed and crimped and is now also available with axial screw clamping technology.
