Panduit Corp, the leader in wire harness, heavy duty cable management, and control panel solutions, has released its next-generation PAT 4.0 Automatic Cable Tie Installation System. The PAT 4.0 maximises bundling productivity with gains of up to 25% over other automatic cable tie systems and over six times the speed of manual cable tie methods.
This enhanced productivity is delivered via a lightweight, ergonomic tool head capable of installing up to 84 cable ties per minute while reducing user fatigue and improving tool manoeuvrability.
The tool dispenser features a user-friendly, touch-screen display with an icon-based menu that supports multiple languages. This icon navigation allows users to quickly gain familiarity with the system to address quick setup/operation, ease of routine maintenance, and rapid troubleshooting tasks resulting in increased uptime.
A 30% reduction in size over its predecessor frees up valuable workstation real estate and improves system mobility.
“Observing and listening to the operational challenges of our wire harness customers, we were inspired to further enhance their productivity with a new system,” said Rami Mishal, Panduit’s Director of Product Development and Engineering.
“For the past year we have been working closely with our customers to design, build, and test our new PAT 4.0 System and we are seeing an overwhelming response from customer pre-launch trials.”
