DESINA - the machine tool standard
DEcentralised and Standardised INstAllation technology (DESINA for short) is a recommendation of the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW) for the standardisation of components, interfaces and connection systems. DESINA describes a comprehensive overall concept for the standardisation and decentralisation of the fluid technology and electrical installation of machines and systems.
DESINA is a standard intended to bring about uniformity in mechanical engineering. Well-known machine tool manufacturers created DESINA, setting a standard for machine tools. The standardisation applies to electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic installation,which is to be simplified to accelerate installation and maintenance work. DESINA specifies the individual components for this.
The aim is to save costs in assembly and monitoring by implementing the decentralised installation concepts and using the specified components.
The exact contents of the DESINA standard can be found in ISO 23570 Part 1 and Part 2 of November 2005.
This means the following for our chainflex cable:
To fulfil this standard, we manufacture our chainflex cables in accordance with the recommendation of the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW). Over 250 cables already comply with this standard. The respective colours are used to standardise components, interfaces and connection systems. Our chainflex cables therefore standardise the fluid technology and electrical installation of systems and machines.
These specifications are as follows:
Servo cable, shielded: orange, RAL 2003
Measuring system cable, shielded: green, RAL 6018
Field bus, hybrid field bus cable, shielded: violet, RAL 4001
Sensor/actuator cable, unshielded: yellow, RAL 1021
Power cable, unshielded: black, RAL 9005
Control cable, unshielded: grey, RAL 7040
This outer jacket must be resistant to the coolants and lubricants used in industry. The structure of the cable must be designed for use on machines in harsh environments. DESINA provides for a shield for certain cable types only.
