MBT stainless steel cable ties
Strength, durability, and resilience in even the harshest environments
Our MBT (Metal Ball Ties) series features a unique, patented, and non-releasable ball-locking mechanism, ensuring a secure grip even under challenging conditions. Available in stainless steel 304 and 316L, these ties are known for their robustness and longevity, with SS316L offering superior corrosion resistance. The double wrap variant can carry enormous applied loads, with a tensile strength of up to 7,000 N. MBTs are available in both coated and uncoated versions, suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
MBML stainless steel marking system
Professional identification solutions for hazardous environments
MBML markers are designed for use in harsh environments, such as industrial settings where mark permanence is critical. The raised, embossed print ensures visibility even under dirt, grease, or paint. Made from SS316L, they offer exceptional durability. MBML markers, especially when combined with stainless steel cable ties, excel in demanding conditions. They are compatible with metal cable ties up to 4.6 mm in width and all of them can be easily marked with our high performance M-BOSS embossing system.
Automatic cable tying system
Fast and waste-free bundling of cables ties with the ATS flex
Disposal time and costs are eliminated. The correct jaws size and speed are set out automatically during commissioning - better process quality thanks to the optimised bundling process – patended! Looping, threading, tensioning and cutting off at the touch of a button with consistent quality. The Autotool System ATS flex can also be integrated into fully automated production lines. Custom designed jaws are available to enable bundling of foot parts on production lines.
Battery-powered hand tool ProCut
Effortless cable tying for railway
Unlike a manual tension-cut hand tool that can require multiple pulls of a lever for a single tie, ProCut is equipped with a one-touch electronic trigger and a rear-mounted second trigger for spaces hard to reach. ► On the shop floor or on the go: The compact ProCut goes where the job is. A full battery processes 2,000 cable ties – for plenty of uninterrupted productivity. Capable of processing ties ranging from T50s to T250s. ► Serious time-saver: Insert a cable tie, lightly tap the trigger and the tool precisely tensions and cuts with zero kickback. ProCut saves time and reduces worker strain with every trigger pull. Paired with a 2.0 Ah CAS battery – the one compatible with a wide range of industrial tools, like our AT CPK hybrid.
EVO KR cable tie gun
Fast, adjustable and consistent application of vibration-resistant KR-Series ties
With its ergonomic design, the EVO KR cable tie gun allows for effortless application of vibration-resistant KR cable ties - EN45545-2 certificated-, thereby reducing operator fatigue. The tool – which is made in Germany – incorporates all the processing advantages of our proven range of EVO cable tie tools and comes with plenty of other features:
KR series 1-piece cable tie without serration
The KR series 1-piece cable tie provides a secure hold with a glass-fibre reinforced pin.
The demands placed on cable fasteners in rolling stock are high in terms of movement and vibration. This can cause problems in terms of chaffing and wear. Furthermore, it is often not practical or desirable to fasten cable using serrated ties if the cable itself is sensitive to damage. The KR series locks and securely holds cable in place using a glass-fibre reinforced pin. The cable tie is very resistant to vibration, chemicals, impact and UV radiation. Furthermore, this series is available in various materials, colours and almost any length to precisely match the application. It is applied with a special KR tool to provide optimum hold, and an endless strap version can be cut to any length required.
“One click” 2-piece fixing tie with arrowhead foot part
One-Click Mounts with pre-inserted cable ties save processing time and are easy to install by hand.
The design of One-Click fixing ties, featuring an arrowhead foot part and disc, significantly reduces process time in the installation of cable and harnesses in rail vehicles. The One-Click mount is supplied with a cable tie pre-inserted, allowing the fixing tie to be simply clicked by hand into an existing hole in a cable tray in the train car. The mount locks firmly on both sides of the hole. The cable tie head can be moved after bundling. The fixing tie can be pre-installed on the tray or on the harness itself and clicked onto the tray in one assembly step. Versions for oval holes feature anti-twist protection. The result is faster installation and reduced cost.
ATS3080 cable tying system for fast assembly of harnesses
Assembling harnesses for rail vehicles has never been faster and more efficient than with this autotool.
The advantages of the ATS3080 are many. The two parts of the fastener come from two different dispenser wheels – one for the strap, and a second for the closure head. The strap is automatically inserted into the closure head and cut precisely at the head without waste. Cycle times are faster, the autotool can be easily integrated into assembly processes for a large volume of fasteners, and harnesses are held secure even in high-vibration environments. Fastening material is certified to EN45545-2, making it highly suitable for rail vehicle applications.

TA 37 thin wall adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing
TA37 is an ideal solution for cable insulation in rolling stock.
Certified to EN45545-2 European railway standard for fire safety, this thin wall heat shrink tubing offers the advantages of being adhesive-lined, halogen-free and flame retardant, providing safe insulation in rail vehicles. This combination makes it unique on the market in terms of product properties. It conforms to important rail industry standards, including the British BS 6853 fire test to railway components, and London Underground section 12 approved cables, as well as relevant solar radiation standards.
TT4030DS: A high volume, double sided printer
High-performance printing on shrinkable tubes.
With two print heads mounted one above the other, the TT4030DS prints on both sides of the material simultaneously. In addition, its high reliability and multiple peripherals enable applications and solutions tailored to specific customer requirements. Another very innovative feature of this printer is the ribbon saving option, which optimises printing. Undoubtedly, the versatility of this printer makes it ideal for maintenance and assembly tasks in markets where identification requirements are high, such as the railway, aerospace and defence markets.
Outside serrated (OS) series cable tie
The OS series of cable ties is an ideal solution in rolling stock for thin-walled or soft insulation wires, and to reduce damage from chaffing and wear due to vibration.
Outside serration and a smooth surface to the bundle allows the tie to follow the contours of the bundle for a secure fit. Certified to EN45545-2, the ties are manufactured from PA66V0 material, making them suitable whenever regulations require reductions in smoke and dangerous gases. A curved head design takes up less space, and the ties can be applied by hand or using one of several application tools.
Paste adhesive mounts (PMB)
Paste adhesive mounts are especially suitable for use in rail vehicles wherever screw fixing is not possible.
This series of mounts is fixed by a paste/liquid adhesive and can be installed on surfaces that are uneven. The geometric design of the mount ensures good form closure with cured adhesive, and the PMB3 version is certified to EN45545-2 European railway standard for fire safety.
