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.

Fire safety of cables

LAPP Cabling Solutions Seconds can save lives Investors and legislators require more and more fire safety in buildings, in production facilities or in vehicles. Cables are also affected by this. In the event of a fire, they must not emit toxic substances and must not conduct the flame. Many people must surely remember the tragic fires on the London Underground, at Düsseldorf Airport, in the Channel Tunnel or in the Mont Blanc Tunnel. These fires cost the lives of many people and caused damage running into the billions. But it is not just these huge disasters that cause casualties. Each year, about 400 people die in smaller fires in Germany alone. It is thanks to the increased use of smoke detectors that this number has slowly dropped over the last ten years. In addition, the subject of fire protection is very important to investors when they erect buildings or purchase production facilities, not least due to statutory regulations. Here, careful selection of the utilized...

Future of Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber Optic Cables Introduction to fiber optic cables: While trying to find a way to transmit information at the speed of light, fiber optic cable was invented in 1800 by scientists John Tyndall , Alexander Graham Bell and William Wheeler. Even today, the fiber optic cable has a strong hold on us. The fiber optic cable is redefining ways of our lives. If you travel down memory lane, you should be able to recollect the hefty copper wires which were being used for communication purposes. They didn’t just consume too much power but were also inefficient in delivering the desired output. These copper wires led to wastage of energy until we came across fiber optic cables, which single-handed changed the game of communication. Praise the fiber optic cables for the high-speed Internet that helps you get your work done quickly. Its properties of being durable and malleable gives this product the tag of best in the business. Benefits of having Fiber Optic cables :...

5 Trends in Connection Technology

1) The trend towards intensified networking and miniaturization: Digitalisation is changing the connection technology environment in the sense that an increasing number of products and even individual components can and need to communicate. This means that an increasing volume of data has to be transmitted at increasingly fast speeds - something familiar in offices for years is now moving into the factories. Continuous increases in the performance of microchips is not only driving digitalization but also - in conjunction with efforts to improve resource efficiency - is resulting in a move towards increasingly smaller and more compact products and devices. A smartphone now has the processing power of a 1990s supercomputer but has a fraction of the size, energy consumption, and price.  This is having a big impact on industrial connection technology. Robots and other machines are becoming more compact and demanding an increasing number of data conne...
