How To Get Best Results When Cutting Cable Ties

November 17, 2021 by Abby Robey 4 Comments

Xuron® Model 2275 Cable Tie Cutter.

Cable Ties, also known as tie wraps or zip ties, are commonly used in the industrial sector for bundling wire, cable and cords to keep them neat and organized. Consumers also regularly use them to secure totes, luggage and retail items. Their strength makes them appealing, but when cut without the right tool, it’s easy to cut or scratch yourself with a sharp edge. Our Cable Tie Cutter makes the task easier and safer.

Cable ties should always be cut flush to the termination point, leaving no spike on the cut end. This is especially important in a manufacturing environment. The spike is what could cause scratches or cuts to people doing wire and cable work.

Xuron Corporation’s Model 2275 Cable Tie Cutter offers an effective and safe solution for cutting plastic and nylon cable ties up to 7 mm wide.  And, it leaves a nice flat cut on the cable tie.

Xuron® Tools for 3D Printing

December 22, 2020 by Abby Robey 2 Comments

Xuron Tools for 3D Printing.

Five years ago I wrote a blog post about Xuron® Tools for 3D Printing. At that time, 3D printers were not readily accessible to the average consumer or small manufacturer. They were mainly used for making prototypes and everything about the process seemed intimidating (at least to me).

Speed ahead to 2020 and 3D printing has evolved. It seems there is nothing that cannot be created with this technology – even human organs and body parts (known as bioprinting). 3D printing in 2020 also gave way for many people to get creative during time extended time at home. We all saw stories of people making face mask extenders, face shields and more.
