LAPP Industrial Automation
The LAPP automatics and control range is engineered to support sophisticated industrial automation and control infrastructures — covering LAPP automation cables, LAPP control systems, LAPP signal transmission cables, LAPP industrial automation wiring, LAPP sensor-actuator cables, LAPP control accessories, and the broader category of LAPP automatics and control. Whether you’re wiring a new machine, retrofitting a production line, or implementing an IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) system, LAPP provides high-quality cable and accessory solutions purpose-built for demanding control environments.
Comprehensive Portfolio of Automation & Control Components
Within this category you will find:
- LAPP automation cables – cables specifically designed for automation, machine control, drag-chains, torsional motion and field-bus environments.
- LAPP control systems – connection infrastructure, prefabricated harnesses and cabling systems linking sensors, actuators, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), drives and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces).
- LAPP signal transmission cables – including shielded twisted-pair and multi-core cables for analog/digital signal, fieldbus, Ethernet and data networks.
- LAPP industrial automation wiring – complete wiring solutions that meet the mechanical and environmental stresses of industrial machinery: high flexibility, oil, chemical, abrasion and temperature resistance.
- LAPP sensor-actuator cables – often smaller diameter, highly flexible cables with fine-stranded conductors used for connecting field-level devices (sensors, actuators, valves) to the control cabinet.
- LAPP control accessories – accessories such as cable glands, marking systems, drag-chain supports, termination blocks, connectors and harnessing tools which complement an automation wiring installation.
By standardising on LAPP across control wiring, you ensure compatibility, traceability, future-proofing and reduced procurement complexity.
Automation Cables & Signal Transmission – Technical & Practical Highlights
Automation Cables
LAPP emphasises:
“Industrial communication at LAPP means high-quality, industry-compatible cables, assemblies, plug connectors and active components from a single source.”
For automation cables, the critical design features include multi-core fine-stranded conductors (for movement/flexibility), robust jackets (PUR, PVC, halogen-free variants) and often shielding to resist electromagnetic interference (EMI).
These cables are well suited to robotics, moving machine parts, machine tools and drag-chain applications, as seen in LAPP’s ÖLFLEX® and UNITRONIC® series.
Signal Transmission Cables
Under the signal-transmission umbrella, LAPP offers shielded multi-pair cables, twisted-pair data cables designed for sensors, actuators, BUS-systems (CAN, ProfiBus, etc.), and industrial Ethernet. A cited example: UNITRONIC® LiYCY BK – shielded data cable with colour code, UV-resistant outdoor use.
Key specification points: minimal capacitance/inductance, robust shielding (braid + foil), fine stranding, stable transmission even under vibration or mechanical stress.
Industrial Automation Wiring
Installing wiring in machines and plants demands cables that can survive high mechanical stress, chemical exposure, temperature extremes and repetitive motion. LAPP supports this with industrial automation wiring that meets these criteria.
For example: when specifying for a new machine line or retrofit, choose a wiring scheme that includes both fixed-and flexible sections, use bundles of sensor-actuator cables, ensure that drag-chain runs have cables rated for flex-cycles and correct jacket material.
Sensor-Actuator Cables
At the field level, connecting devices such as level sensors, proximity switches, servos or valves requires durable, compact cables with traceability. LAPP’s sensor-actuator cable lines are designed accordingly: fine stranded, colour-coded, often with insulation for oil-resistance and installation convenience.
Control Accessories
No wiring system is complete without accessories. LAPP offers accessories for termination, gland entry, marking systems, cable identification, harness supports and other control wiring infrastructure. Proper accessory selection improves installation quality, reduces downtime and supports maintenance.
Why Choose LAPP Automatics & Control?
- Single-brand ecosystem: Cables, connectors, harness components and accessories all from LAPP means system compatibility and fewer interfaces to manage.
- Proven industrial pedigree: Built for challenging environments (motion, temperature, mechanical stress, EMI) and wide adoption in factory automation and machine-building.
- Specification support & documentation: LAPP provides detailed technical data for cables (e.g., flex cycles, jacket material, approvals) and system-level solutions.
- Procurement efficiency: For wholesalers and system integrators, standardising on LAPP simplifies stock management, reduces variants and accelerates projects.
- Future-proofing: As factories upgrade to smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0), wired infrastructure remains critical. LAPP’s automation range supports high data rates, rugged handling and integration with sensors/actuators, making it suitable for demand-driven upgrades
