Various widths, thicknesses available Uses: Shielding, Grounding, Insulating / WrappingAudio loop / Induction loopWe specialise in insulating and wrapping flat copper cable which can be used in Audio Loop / Induction Loop cables which interact with hearing devices through a magnetic field delivering the audio to the hearing device with much reduced background noise. We can produce the Audio Loop to your specification however our more standard sizes are: Copper Width 10mm 12.5mm 16mm 18mm 20mm 30mm Copper Thickness 0.05mm (50 Micron) 0.1mm (100 Micron) 0.125mm Polymer wrap 20, 30, 50, 100 micron Insulated flat copper cable ContinuedIn Addition we also produce insulated flat copper cable for use within transformers made to your specification. We wrap the copper at widths from 5mm to 60mm.
Insulation Types at 20 -100 microns Adhesive or non adhesive: Polyester Polypropylene Nomex Kapton RollingOur Rolling mill can handle material up to 5" wide and can roll down to as thin as 0.1mm.
Cut Sheets / BlanksWe have recently acquired a 1m Bed Guillotine which can cut up to 3mm depending on the metal .We can cut sheets / blanks to your size or specification.
