(Kistler: Novi, MI) -- Kistler, a global supplier of precision sensors, systems, and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque, and acceleration, has designed a single-wire cable technology, which offers a number of design and performance advantages over traditional coaxial cables within plastics injection molding applications.

Designed for direct compatibility with all Kistler mold-cavity pressure sensors and force transducers, single-wire cables transmit the necessary electrical charge with required shielding provided by the injection mold itself. This allows for simplified mold installation via a small cross-sectional area measuring just 0.9 mm in diameter and facilitates the use of supporting self-locking and splash-proof connectors, which may be fitted by the user. Cables and connectors are both completely integrated into the mold. Single-wire cabling is also fully field-repairable and exchangeable and may be cut to desired lengths.
