Sandvik launches new wire for efficient production of high-quality reed switches

Using Safeni 52 wire, reed switch manufacturers can rely on consistently high surface quality, which contributes to the wire’s excellent feedability. It runs through equipment cleanly, contributing to higher production throughput with increased uptime as well as high end-product quality and reliability.

Packaging is designed to reduce tangled pails and the wire exhibits remarkable straightness with little cast or helix. Together these benefits give manufacturers switching to Safeni 52 wire the potential to take on more business without capital investment. Reed switches incorporating Safeni 52 have a very consistent level of reliability and long operational lifetimes, which will contribute to a high yield with very good quality.
