A packaging industry customer had a clear need: to optimize assembly times and streamline warehouse management, which was complicated by the presence of numerous cable gland codes.
The traditional cable gland system no longer offered the flexibility and speed required to keep pace with the increasingly modular and dynamic production lines.
The company, specialized in automatic packaging machines, was looking for a solution to standardize cable routing and increase operational efficiency, without compromising reliability or safety.
The Critical Issue: A Bottleneck Between Wiring and Logistics
The existing system, based on traditional cable glands, created two main inefficiencies:
- Cable installation was slow and complex, often requiring the removal of connectors and slowing down assembly operations.
- Warehouse management was weighed down by highly fragmented codes, complicating reordering and logistics.
The customer sought a faster, modular, and more rational solution that could adapt to their new production approach focused on simplification and standardization.
The TECO Solution: TPD 24 Splittable Frame
Following a technical consultation, Product Manager Dario Taraborrelli identified the ideal solution: replacing traditional glands with TECO’s split cable entry system, specifically the TPD 24 model.
Thanks to his deep expertise and understanding of customer application needs, Dario recommended TPD 24 for its ability to manage complex configurations and cable diameters up to 35 mm, while offering fast installation, modularity, and order.
“Our goal is to make our customers’ work easier—faster, cleaner, and more versatile. The TPD 24 was designed precisely for this.”
— Dario Taraborrelli, Product Manager TECO
The TPD system, with its openable frame and ability to insert pre-terminated cables, ensured:
- Faster and cleaner installation
- Easier cable removal during maintenance
- Unified coding with a single size suitable for multiple installations
- IP66 sealing, ATEX zone 2/22 certification, and UL/RoHS compliance
Installed in control units and machine panels, the TPD 24 frame efficiently replaced all previous systems, fully resolving flexibility and spare parts management issues.
Results: Shorter Assembly Time, Simplified Logistics
- −35% assembly time
- −50% stock codes
- +100% operational versatility
Its configurability also allowed the company to adopt TPD in electric panels, distributed cabinets, and testing stations—creating a unified and replicable system.
