Keeping It All Together – Wire and Cabling Harnesses

Robot­ic sys­tems have wires and cables that run from sev­er­al dif­fer­ent areas of the robot to the con­troller and back again. By using wiring and cabling har­ness­es, com­pa­nies can group these cables and wires in a way that allows there to be sev­er­al large ports or plugs for a set of wiring, as opposed to hav­ing to plug each wire or cable into its own spe­cif­ic port.

Sev­er­al dif­fer­ent types of elec­tron­ics use wire and cable har­ness­es, includ­ing indus­tri­al automa­tion, aero­space tech­nol­o­gy, com­put­ers, and even fit­ness equip­ment like tread­mills and ellip­ti­cal train­ers. Just like their robot­ic cousins, these elec­tron­ics are all com­posed of sev­er­al types of cables and wires that need to be har­nessed in a way that allows for easy and effec­tive assem­bly and repair.

So, why are har­ness­es so impor­tant for wires and cabling, espe­cial­ly in robot­ics? Well, the answer is pret­ty sim­ple – it cuts down on wear and tear of the cables and wires, and allows for easy access and repair. Wires that are not kept togeth­er can go astray and break or be worn down eas­i­er, which can lead to robot sys­tem mal­func­tion and pos­si­ble pro­duc­tion slow­down or shut down. By using wiring har­ness­es, these wires are kept togeth­er in a cer­tain area, free of the wear and tear they may encounter oth­er­wise. This cuts down on main­te­nance costs and increas­es the longevi­ty of the robot­ic systems.
