Meet the New X Factor in Heat Shrink Processing
TE Connectivity (TE) heat shrink tubing is designed for rugged reliability in the harshest environments when properly applied. Our X Series of heat shrink processing equipment is engineered with features that bring an X factor to both your quality and production performance.
The TE X Series has arrived and brings with it the innovative features you need for demanding heat shrink applications. From the compact RBK X1 machine to our XB 17 and XB 19 belt heaters, we offer solutions to handle a broad range of applications and tube processing requirements. Central to the portfolio is automatic centering technology, which aligns splices properly prior to heating, helping enhance your end product quality. The RBK X1 is suited for low volume/high mix production, while for larger volumes and tubing sizes, our XB 17 and XB 19 machines provide added capacity and performance features.
