Tailor-Made Connection Solutions for Corrugation Machines

Electrical connection technology is an indispensable component of highly automated machinery. In drive and control technology, as well as in control cabinet construction, many different types of cables and wires are used. As a systems supplier, HELUKABEL has been a trusted partner for BHS Corrugated for decades, supported by a product portfolio that reliably covers a wide range of requirements across all applications.

They supply control and connection cables such as the versatile JZ-500, data cables such as the flexible TRONIC-CY, TOPSERV servo cables, and TOPFLEX motor cables. For control cabinet wiring, single conductors from the FIVENORM product range are commonly used. These conductors are certified to five different international standards and are therefore suitable for global use.
“This is an important criterion for us, as we export many of our corrugators to the USA, China, and other international markets,” explains Markus Schrödl, Electrical Engineering Specialist at BHS Corrugated. “Global approvals are often strictly required for the components that we use.”
Even for automated processing and printing using a Komax machine, as is the case at BHS Corrugated, the FIVENORM single conductors are a perfect match.

BHS Corrugated sources the cables required for installing individual system modules in Weiherhammer primarily from a nearby prefabrication partner. These cables are prepared to the required lengths, fitted with the appropriate connectors, and pre-sorted into specially designed installation carts that can be placed directly at each station along the production line. “Our employees only need to take one cable at a time and install it in the correct place in the machine. This saves a lot of time and effort,” says Schrödl. Other custom products required for final installation at the customer’s site are delivered together with the machine.
For the experts at BHS Corrugated, the global availability of HELUKABEL products is another key advantage. With 76 locations worldwide, HELUKABEL ensures that replacement parts are readily available when needed. “For a supplier like BHS Corrugated, which services systems worldwide, this is a real competitive advantage,” explains Thomas Puchta, Area Sales Manager at HELUKABEL and BHS Corrugated’s primary point of contact.

Markus Schrödl also praises the friendly support and technical expertise provided by HELUKABEL. “The open and straightforward communication with the HELUKABEL sales team has truly shaped our collaboration and allowed it to continue developing,” he says. Their colleagues in the office are also easy to reach when questions arise and are always willing to provide quick and effective solutions. Clear and detailed technical documentation on the website further reinforces the confidence of BHS Corrugated’s leadership that they are in good hands with HELUKABEL.

In July 2025, the systems engineers formally recognized their appreciation by naming HELUKABEL a preferred supplier to BHS Corrugated. Christian Schneider, Group COO, personally traveled to Hemmingen to deliver the news. “We are very pleased with this recognition, as it reflects the trustworthy and cooperative collaboration between BHS Corrugated and HELUKABEL,” explains Thomas Puchta.

Today, roughly 95% of all cables installed by BHS Corrugated come from HELUKABEL, and additional projects are already being planned. “Our companies share the same goal of setting standards through quality and innovation, while developing solutions together that meet future demands,” emphasizes Markus Schrödl. “For this reason, connection technology from HELUKABEL will remain a central component of our machines and systems.”
