Robotic cable management system - LAPP


We have many cable manufacturers in India for robotic applications and Lapp is considered to be one of the trusted manufacturers. Withcables that can flexibly transmit control and monitoring signals as well as power.
The focus of this blog will be on:
Why is robotic cable management important?
How can you ensure you choose the best robotic cable management solution?

The Importance:

You can encounter various problems employing robotic cables. The obvious and the most severe problem is when a poorly designed cable system restricts the motion of a robotic arm.
With the increased flexibility of robotic cables and better cable design taking entire range of motion of the robot into account, LAPP is changing the robotic cable technology.
The focus should not just be on application-specific motions. Or else, it might result in restricted motion, and thus the flexibility and efficiency, of the robotic arm.
Binding cables tightly with excessive cable ties also creates problems like corkscrewing. With the stress on the robotic cables that accelerates their lifetime and increased chance of failure, leading to unproductive and unscheduled downtime.

Best Approach:

There are a number of things you can do to optimize robotic cable management.
Ensuring robotic cables are in one continuous path with no pinching or loose cables around any of the axes makes an example for a good robotic cable management. It’s also helpful to have the option to fully enclose cables to protect them from harsh environments, although permanently enclosed systems have their drawbacks.
A robotic cable carrier system can be put to use for robotic cable management. With spring-loaded designs, Robotic cable carriers can minimize catch and pinch points. As the cables exceed their service life, which all cables eventually do, the process of replacing without dismantling becomes easier, as opposed to fully enclosed dress packs.
Proper robotic cable management can be achieved many different ways, depending on the needs of your specific application. However, the few tips mentioned above are some of the best ways to ensure your robotic cables aren’t hindering robotic performance.
In the next section, we will check the various products from LAPP, one of the leading cable manufacturers in India which can be used as robotic cables and the design aspect.

Oil Resistant Cables: Know How Important They Are!

Demands of the industrial environment are ongoing, with ever-changing trends. Cables that were able to sustain functional and operational integrity a decade ago would not be adequate to survive in the environment of a present day manufacturing site. Everywhere, from the renewable energy industry and automotive assembly plants to the factories that manufacture small office machines, and even in some commercial buildings, oil resistant cables have become increasingly important. Oils serve a dual-purpose in industrial applications, both as a coolant and lubricant, depending upon the requirements mandated by the end use application. Sustaining trouble-free cable operation under harsh chemical and environmental conditions reduces costly manufacturing downtime and helps to eliminate or minimize periodic maintenance and costly cable replacement. All of the factors mentioned play a major role that is critical to a consistent, smoothly run manufacturing operation, which in the end res...

Life Expectancy of your Control Cable India and what should you expect?

With the talk of life expectancy being the need of the hour, I want to start this blog with a quote from the American author and computer scientist, Ray Kurzweil: “ Life expectancy is a statistical phenomenon. You could still be hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow .” One of the important question to ponder, when constructing new builds or considering refurbishment is: What is the life expectancy of the control cables in use? To be frank, there are no minimum requirements for an expected lifetime in cable standards and specifications. And the majority of high-quality cable manufacturers always deliver the probably expected lifespan. Under ideal circumstances which means considerably reduced heating and lower loadings, we can find the examples of cables that have remained in safe use for over 50 years. The parameters influencing the life expectancy of the control cable India ·           The changes in the polymer...

The industrial robots till now were performing complex and repetitive factory processes, but the digitization and technological advancements have increased their applications across various sectors.   Cable manufacturing in India  is entering the era of integration and convergence that will aim at reducing costs with increased safety. Robots of the future will be seen working alongside humans in most Industrial sectors with increased responsibilities. They will be pivotal in implementing Industrial 4.0 by combining technologies that will allow robots to use big data and analytics, make decisions and function autonomously. Industry 4.0 or the industrial internet of things (IIOT) refers to the era where the industrial manufacturing processes equipment, devices, and computers are networked. Today, the use of automation and robots have come a long way and play an integral role in re-shaping and re-defining  Industry 4.0. But, it is not just the robots that ...
