Last week, Ron Tiedink (Account Manager Benelux) visited SAB Training Centre in Hoofddorp. During this visit, a special milestone was reached: the first practical installation of the new LoviX® R joint in the training institute’s workshop.
“This is an important milestone,” says Ron Tiedink. “As a leading training provider in our field, SAB plays a key role in preparing students for practical work. By introducing SAB to new products at an early stage, we receive valuable feedback that helps us further develop and improve our solutions.”
Learning, testing and collaborating
SAB Training Centre offers hands-on training programmes for jointers in the energy sector. The collaboration with Lovink ensures that (future) students learn to work not only with existing technologies, but also with the latest innovations in cable jointing.
During the installation of the LoviX® R, instructors had the opportunity to experience the new joint first-hand. The session provided space for questions, feedback and practical tips from the user’s perspective – valuable input for the further development process.
LoviX® R: Innovation in cable jointing technology
The LoviX® R represents the latest generation of cable joints for polymeric medium-voltage cables. Developed with real-world application in mind, the system offers a less error-prone installation, greater reliability, and optimal protection against moisture and, above all, mechanical stress. Thanks to its compact design, installation is straightforward for both experienced jointers and those still in training.
Investing in the Future Together
The practical installation at SAB marks an important step in the broader collaboration between education and industry. Lovink Enertech and SAB share the same ambition: to support the energy transition by combining knowledge, innovation and craftsmanship.
“We want tomorrow’s technicians to become familiar with the technology of today – and of the future,” says Ron Tiedink. “By working together with training centres like SAB, we ensure that new cable joints not only excel technically, but also perfectly match practical requirements.”
Our sincere thanks go to Roy and Sjoerd from SAB Training Centre for their warm hospitality, valuable feedback, and trust in our product.
