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.

The future with Fiber Optic cables

Internet penetration in India is a major concern and will be for a while. Only 400 million of India’s 1.2 billion strong population is online, after all. As fiber optic technology continues to revolutionize the telecommunication and data capabilities of a range of industries, the average individual may not understand the advantages that fiber optic technology provides for us in our everyday life. To better understand the advantages and capabilities of fiber optic technology, we’ll outline a few basics touch points of fiber optics and their contribution to our everyday lives. Let us catch up on the benefits of optical fiber over traditional metallic wire. Benefits of Optic Fibers Vs. Traditional Metallic Wiring? Besides the fact that conventional metallic wiring is far more expensive to produce, fiber optics deliver a superior amount of quality, convenience, and durability currently unmatched in telecommunication technology. Although the majority of our practical ...

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...

How to deal with outdoor cables?

As the saying goes, “Accidents, big or small, avoid them all you.” Special care needs to be taken around electricity outdoors. Whether you are working or playing near it, or using electrical equipment, it is important to be aware of the dangers. Everything we use around us works on electric current, it is very much necessary to maintain safety guidelines. Before you start any work near power lines or underground cables, arrange a visit from electricity retailer to identify any problems or disconnect the supply. This work might be painting your house, trimming trees, cleaning guttering, replacing spouting or roofing, repairing chimneys or excavating a property. Never touch overhead power lines, underground cables , or the bare conductors that connect them to the house, as this could be fatal. Safety tips for Outdoors Never store material under power wires and reduce the clearance height. Remember that children are fond of climbing, and wires look tempting. Before starting w...
