How to choose cables for industrial robots?

Sep 23, 2022 Leave a message

Industrial robot equipment is more and more widely used. Robotic equipment is indispensable to replace manual work in high repetition rates and complex, harsh or highly polluted environments. Therefore, the industrial robot cable used with it is particularly important. High quality robot cable is the necessary guarantee for the robot to carry out industrial operation with high efficiency, high durability, high speed and high precision. How to choose cables for industrial robots?


工业机器人的电缆应该如何选择?


1. Use state of industrial robot cable


Bending diameter consider cable design and finished product diameter, bending radian, pay attention to the different production process will affect the bending radius of the cable, installation less than the bending radius of the cable directly affect the service life of the cable.


2, industrial robot cable interference ability


The shielding (form and coverage) determines the electromagnetic compatibility characteristics of the cable, in other words, the anti-interference characteristics of the external environment and the degree of electromagnetic pollution to the external environment. Aluminum-plastic composite cladding shielding has strong resistance to high-frequency interference; Copper wire shielding or winding shielding has strong resistance to low frequency interference; The wire braid provides only protection against damage from external mechanical forces. The ideal structure is aluminum - plastic composite - coated shield and copper wire braided or wound shield.


3, the use of industrial robot cable function


Clear as power cable, signal control cable, or detection feedback signal signal, transmission data cable, composite cable, etc


3, industrial robot cable running speed and travel distance


What is the speed of operation in meters/second, the length of operation stroke and the allowable voltage drop, data transmission rate, etc.


4. What equipment is the industrial robot cable used on


Industrial robots are divided into mobile robots, arc welding robots, welding robots, laser processing robots, assembly machine robots, painting machine robots, handling machine robots and so on. Some special robot supporting the use of cables will have some special requirements, such as arc welding robot cables require high temperature resistance and fire spatter performance.


5, industrial robot cable indicators


For example, whether the cable is subjected to one-way or two-way torsion for a long time, whether it is subjected to the joint action of bending torsion and stretching, wear resistance and tear resistance requirements and softness requirements, etc., specifically implemented in the robot cable is the service life requirements.


6. The use environment of industrial robot cable and the influence of the environment on it


Ambient temperature, flame retardant, oil and acid resistance, weather resistance to high/low temperature difference, hydrolysis resistance, air quality components, environmental requirements and so on.


The corresponding industrial robot cable has high requirements and requirements for its technical requirements and adaptability. The above industrial robot cable how to choose? So that's it.
