Keeping It All Together – Wire and Cabling Harnesses

Wires and cable harnesses help the robotic systems organize and protect their plugs and ports. The wires run from several different areas of the robot to the controller and back again, so keeping things organized is hugely beneficial. Containing cords and wires will decrease the wear and tear of your wires and increase the overall lifespan.

Triflex – cable carriers to cut down on wear and tear

Robot cables connect valuable parts of the robot system, such as the arm to the wrist and the end effector. This is why it is important to keep these cables protected. A cable carrier such as a Triflex will help to decrease the wear and tear on these important robot connections.

Welding Cables by ABB

Keeping your robot cables in top quality condition will help to prolong the service life of not only your cables, but your robotic system. ABB has SpotPack and DressPack solutions available to help preserve welding cables.

A new robotic suite for applications and maintenance

New technologies are constantly being created to produce a better application and maintenance environment. One robotics company, Staubli Robotics, created a software platform that is directly linked to the robot and controller and offers many software options.
