How to choose cables for industrial robots

Industrial robot equipment is more and more widely used. Robotic devices are very important for replacing human work in environments with high repetition rates, complex, harsh or polluted environments.

Therefore, it is very important to use the industrial robot cable. High quality robot cable is the necessary guarantee of high efficiency, high durability, high speed and high precision for industrial operation. How to choose cables for intelligent industrial robots?

1. What equipment is the industrial robot cable used for?

Industrial robots are divided into mobile robots, arc welding robots, welding robots, laser processing robots, assembly robots, painting robots, handling robots, etc. Some special robots have some special requirements when using cables. For example, arc welding robot cables need to withstand high temperatures and sparks.

2, industrial robot cable interference ability

The shielding (form and coverage) determines the electromagnetic compatibility characteristics of the cable, that is, the anti-interference characteristics of the external environment and the degree of electromagnetic pollution to the external environment. Aluminum-plastic composite shield, strong resistance to high-frequency interference; Copper wire shield or winding shield, strong resistance to low frequency interference; Wire braiding only protects against external mechanical damage. Aluminum - plastic composite composite shield and copper wire braided or stranded shield structure is ideal.

3, industrial robot cable indicator

For example, whether the cable is subjected to long-term unidirectional or bidirectional torsion, whether it is subjected to the combined effect of bending, twisting and stretching, wear resistance, tear resistance and flexibility requirements, etc. The concrete realization of the robot cable is the service life requirement.

4, the role of industrial robot cable

It is clearly used as power cable, signal control cable, test feedback signal signal, data transmission cable, composite cable, etc.

5, the use of industrial robot cable environment and the impact of the environment on it

Environmental temperature, flame retardant, oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high and low temperature difference, hydrolysis resistance, air quality components, environmental requirements, etc.

6, industrial robot cable running speed and travel distance

Running speed is how many meters/second, running stroke length and allowable voltage drop, data transmission rate, etc.

7, the use of industrial robot cable

Bending diameter takes into account cable design and finished diameter, as well as bending radian. The bending radius of the cable will be affected by different production processes. If the installation is smaller than the bending radius of the cable, the service life of the cable is directly affected.
