12.5 Wiring of robot area »SuperhighFlex Quality«
In order to achieve an optimal service life of cables in robotics applications, comply with the following points
when laying the cables:
➔ Avoid using cable binders to fasten cables.
➔ Lay the cable duct so that the cables have maximum freedom of movement.
➔ Lay the cables so that the sleeves do not rub during operation.
Cables should not knock against static parts or hang loose.
➔ Cables should not shift during operation.
➔ Do not exceed the minimum specified bending radii.
The size of the bending radius is proportional to length of the service life.
➔ Make sure that the length of the cable compensates for torsional loads.
