Designed to meet the demands: BRACE System
In machine building, reliability is engineered at component level, and cabling remains one of the most exposed and failure-prone elements in any system. Continuous movement, vibration and environmental exposure place significant stress on cables, making effective protection essential.

Cable protection systems such as WISKA's BRACE range are specifically designed to address these challenges. High-performance conduits offer excellent flexibility and controlled bend radii, reducing mechanical fatigue in dynamic applications such as robotics and automated handling systems. At the same time, high crush resistance and impact strength protect against damage in confined or high-load environments.
Built for industrial environments
Environmental protection is equally critical. With IP68-rated sealing, the BRACE system prevents the ingress of water, dust and contaminants, even in washdown or outdoor conditions. Materials are resistant to UV, oils, chemicals and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability across a wide range of industrial applications.
Protecting electrical performance
From an electrical perspective, metallic conduit options provide effective EMI shielding. This protects sensitive signal and data cables from interference, an increasingly important requirement in Industry 4.0-enabled machines where reliable communication is essential.
Designed for efficient installation
Installation efficiency is another key advantage. Precision-engineered fittings ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections, while modular compatibility across conduit types and sizes enables flexible routing and simplified assembly. This reduces build time and minimises installation errors on the shop floor.
Greater reliability in demanding applications
Robust conduit construction and high IP-rated sealing protect cables from moisture, dust, chemicals and vibration. This ensures consistent performance in challenging environments, from washdown areas to heavy industrial settings.
Reducing build time and costs
Modular designs and easy-fit connections simplify installation and reduce assembly time. For OEMs, this improves efficiency, lowers labour costs and supports faster time-to-market.
Supporting advanced machine performance
Shielded protection, particularly with metallic options, reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity. This ensures reliable data transmission and stable operation of control and communication systems.
