Important Parts Of Industrial Robot Cables

A short look at the most important parts of industrial robot cables

Before we can learn about the important parts of industrial robot cables, we have to know what an industrial robot is. The term "industrial robot" refers to the multi-joint manipulator or multi-degree-of-freedom machine equipment used in the industrial field. The industrial robot cable is an important link cable of the robot structure. It can be thought of as the "blood vessel" of the industrial robot because it keeps it working. Power also plays an important role in sending control commands and feedback signals. This lets industrial robots that have been made up to this point act according to the rules and guidelines set by artificial intelligence technology.

The industrial robot has three main parts: the main body, the system that moves it, and the system that controls it. Depending on how the arm works, there are four types of industrial robots: the rectangular coordinate type, the cylindrical coordinate type, the spherical coordinate type, and the joint type arm. Here is a short list of the most common parts of industrial robot cables that our company, Shanghai Jiarou Wire and Cable Co., Ltd., makes for these types of "arms":

1. Conductor structure

For industrial robot cables, you should choose the conductor that is the most flexible. In general, the more flexible a cable is, the thinner the conductor, but if the conductor is too thin, the cable will get tangled. Through a series of long-term tests, scientists found that a single wire with the best tensile strength and the most flexibility has the best diameter.

2. Covering the core of a wire

The cable's insulation materials can't stick to each other. And each strand of wire needs to be held up by the insulation. So, the only way to prove that a special insulating material for industrial robot cables is reliable is to use millions of meters of cables to test it.

3. Tensile elements

There is a real centerline in the middle of an industrial robot cable that is as full as possible based on the number of cores and the space where each core wire goes through the area (rather than using some fillers or waste made of waste plastics as usual) Core wire filling) This method can protect the twisted wire structure and keep the twisted wire from moving to the middle of the cable.

4. Structure of a stranded wire

The cabled strand structure must be wound with the best pitch around a stable tensile center. At the same time, because insulating materials are used, the structure of the twisted wires needs to be made based on how they move. Since industrial robot cables have 12 core wires, they should be twisted together in groups.

5. Sheath inside

Instead of cheap wool, padding, or filling, the inner sheath is a kneaded armor-style piece. This method makes sure that the structure of the strands doesn't fall apart.

6. Shielding

Use the best angle for weaving to tightly braid the shielding layer on the outside of the inner sheath. The EMC protection will be less effective if the braiding is too loose, and the shielding layer will soon fail because of cracks in the shielding. The shield's tight weave also keeps it from twisting.

7. Outside cover

The outer sheath is made of different improved materials. These materials have different functions, such as being resistant to UV light, low temperatures, and oil, and lowering the cost. But these outer sheaths all have one thing in common: they don't stick to anything and can take a lot of wear and tear. The outer sheath of an industrial robot cable needs to be very flexible, but it also needs to be able to hold the cable together. It should, of course, be made under high pr
