Quality Control
Armoured Copper Control Cable - SWA Steel Wire Braided
Raw Material Test
Raw Material Test is the critical first step in manufacturing the Armoured Copper Control Cable. Incoming copper rods undergo detailed chemical composition analysis to ensure high purity and conductivity. Mechanical testing verifies tensile strength and elongation for Class 5 flexible conductors. PVC and LSZH compounds are rigorously tested for thermal stability, flame retardancy, insulation resistance, and mechanical properties. Galvanized steel wires for armouring are inspected for uniform zinc coating, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance. Surface quality inspection and dimensional checks detect any defects in raw materials. Only materials that fully pass every stringent criterion are approved for wire drawing, stranding, and extrusion in the production of the Armoured Copper Control Cable. This thorough incoming inspection guarantees consistent electrical performance, mechanical robustness, and reliable armoured protection for harsh industrial applications.
Process inspection
Process Inspection during manufacturing of the Armoured Copper Control Cable maintains tight control at every stage. After drawing copper wires to precise diameters, continuous monitoring verifies dimensional tolerances and surface quality. The twisting and stranding process uses real-time tension control to ensure uniform core lay. Insulation extrusion is controlled for consistent thickness. The steel wire armouring process is carefully monitored to achieve high coverage and uniform mechanical protection. Final sheath extrusion ensures proper thickness and strong adhesion. Online diameter measurement systems and frequent visual checks prevent defects. Key process parameters including temperature and speed are strictly logged. Mid-process sampling includes partial electrical and mechanical tests. Any deviation triggers immediate corrective action. These rigorous in-process controls safeguard the structural integrity, electrical properties, and mechanical protection of the Armoured Copper Control Cable.
Finished Product
Finished Product testing ensures every reel of Armoured Copper Control Cable meets the highest quality standards. Comprehensive dimensional verification confirms overall diameter, insulation thickness, and sheath uniformity. High-voltage, insulation resistance, and conductor resistance tests validate electrical performance. Mechanical tests assess flexibility, tensile strength, and armour integrity. Flame retardancy and smoke density tests (for LSZH version) are performed. Full visual and tactile inspections check for surface defects or armour irregularities. All examinations follow IEC 60227 and related standards with detailed records for full traceability. Packaging and marking accuracy are also verified. Only the Armoured Copper Control Cable that successfully passes 100% of these final inspections receives approval for shipment. This rigorous final quality gate assures customers of reliable, safe, and high-performance armoured control cables.
Application
The Armoured Copper Control Cable is widely used in industrial machinery, mining equipment, outdoor installations, cranes, conveyors, petrochemical plants, and any environment requiring mechanical protection and reliable control signal transmission.
