ALL IN HOUSE
CONNECTORS, CABLES AND CABLE ASSEMBLIESThe cable assembly depends essentially on the application. Will the connector andits associated cable be manipulated over and over again by an operator? Does theassembly need to be watertight, does it need to meet a specific military standard, mustthe cable be flexible and will it encounter constant motion such as on a pick and placemachine?
LEMO’s skilled technicians will consider all these questions, they will build andtest assemblies to the customer’s specifications. Customers can receive the samehigh quality cable assemblies that they expect from LEMO connectors. LEMO cable
assemblies feature: electronic, fibre optic, and hybrid connections, 100% testing of
all assemblies, connector potting, small to large volume capacity and overmold capabilities. Some of the larger subsidiaries are equipped with highly modern and speciallydesigned equipment such as stripping equipment with rotating knives, welding, clipping robot, hydraulic crimp facility, test equipment, etc.

LEMO OFFERS SOLUTIONS FOR THE FOLLOWINGTYPES OF CONNECTIONS•••••••••

Multi Conductors (solder/crimp)
Fiber Optics
Coaxial / Triaxial
NIM-CAMAC
Fluidic / PneumaticHigh / Low voltage
Thermocouple
Environmentally Sealed
Mixed / Hybrid

PROTOTYPINGLEMO also offers prototyping solutions, these prototypes can be for instance a newconnector design, a new cable assembly, or a new cable design. For new cable designs
a minimum order quantity is normally required, as manufacturing machine setup times
can be extensive.
The prototypes will allow our customers to manipulate the new assembly, to see thelook and feel, to validate if the hardness or the flexibility of the cable is as expected.
LEMO recently setup a new workshop located in Switzerland dedicated to prototyping
new connectors. In addition we also have the possibility to design and print 3D plastic
parts in-house. Other specific 3D prints (soft rubber, speciality plastics or metal) canbe outsourced to our partners.

OVERMOLDING

Assembly techniques may involve hotmelt technology (low pressure) or overmolding that can be done in various
materials ( biocompatic overmolding,TPU, TPE, …). LEMO will design themold based on customer drawings, finetune the shape of the overmold that canbe made of either aluminium or stainless steel (for larger volume). LEMO has
the capacity to manufacture the moldsets in-house or outsource dependingon projects. The mold designs are specifically adapted to the cable size andthe cable surface hardness. LEMO canalso provide electronic encapsulation ofprinted boards.
Overmolding can be done for the production of prototypes and low volume production parts - right from the first design
stage through to production.

AUTOMATIC STRIPPINGMACHINE
Our facilities are equipped with automatic stripping machines that allow us toprocess coaxial cables, multi conductor
cables, flat cables and others for a wide
range of cable AWG. The cycle time isvery short and allows cable stripping inless than a second.
In addition, cable lengths can be precisely measured and supplied on wooden
or plastic reels in various dimensions.
Wooden reels are usually for longer cabledistances and can be reused many times.

LASER ENGRAVINGLEMO has multiple laser engraving
machines at its headquarters and in somesubsidiaries allowing us to customize
products for our clients. Customization
could include for instance the customer’s part number, the customer’s brandname or a serial number that can be used
for downstream/upstream re-ordering.
The laser engraving enables bypassing theuse of printed labels on some occasions.
Printed labels will eventually wear out inharsh environments or if the assemblies
sustain repeated sterilisation.

HIGH PRESSURE TEST UP TO 120 BARS/QUALITYCONTROLFor specific cable assemblies used indeep sea (high pressure), LEMO is able
to test sockets, cable assemblies or cablebranches up to a pressure of 120 bar ina hermetic tank using an automatic pressure console. These cable assemblies
can be used in shallow water applications, nuclear power plants, oil pipeline
technology, atomic physics, or automotive industry and many others.
100% inspection testing ensures cable
assemblies with zero defects. Testingallow us to control the quality output andto pro-actively improve the terminationof the harnesses. This final control isdone before packaging and shipment.

FIBRE OPTIC ASSEMBLY

LEMO has been specialising in the termination of both fibre and hybrid cable since1991, it has invested in equipment and skills to ensure that assembly termination isof the highest standard at subsidiaries around the world. It also provides termination
instruction and fibre optic training courses to allow companies to become LEMO certified cable assembly houses.
The termination of cable to connector is the most vulnerable part of the system, using
the best connectors and cables are of little use if incorrectly made. The use of springloaded contacts means there must be room in the connector for the fibre to move thus
avoiding microbending, however the connector needs to be terminated properly toensure that any cable movement does not affect the connector’s performance.
LEMO has many connector variants and contacts for both fibre and hybrid cables oneof most well-known connectors used in the broadcast industry is the SMPTE connector (3K.93C) terminated using high quality cables, to guarantee long life in the field.
Other assemblies of standard fibre optic connectors and cables including singlemodeand multimode fibres are carried out to a high standard using dedicated tools andequipment.
Visual inspection, optical and electrical test equipment are used so assemblies are
100% tested prior to shipment.

OTHER ASSEMBLIES - PATCH PANEL, BOX

LEMO offers patch panel solutions in various configurations. 1U, 2U or 3U rack, allpatch panels are made of aluminium or stainless steel and precision drilled to theappropriate dimensions. These racks and enclosures can be for indoor and outdoor
use and can be customized to meet customer specific needs. In addition, LEMO offers
splice tray solutions for SMPTE/ TRIAX connector or wall box solutions and patchingunits. Patch panels can be equipped with LEMO SMPTE (EDW, FMW, PEW) models
and patch cord assemblies.
Whether you need a large production run or a prototype, we can meet your requirements.
