Highly flexible braided copper tapes
Construction and application
Our highly braided copper tapes are made of soft annealed copper-ETP1 wires according to DIN EN 13602 in bare or tinned version. They are braided as a tube and then rolled flat to the specified width dimensions. For the production of the braids, modern stranding machines and braiding systems with different numbers of brackets (16/24/36 or 48 fold) are available.
The lay lengths and braid angles as well as the strand constructions are chosen to ensure optimum flexibility and good, further processing. However, in addition to our standard dimensions, it is also possible to produce a wide variety of cross-sections and strand constructions according to customer’s wishes and tailored to the respective application.
Such flat braided copper tapes are used, for example, where even highly flexible connecting elements are required for earthing, lightning protection or power transmission
