Max­i­miz­ing Robot­ic Effi­cien­cy with T.I.E. Indus­tri­al: Your Guide to Robot­ic Cabling

Under­stand­ing the Life­line of Your Fanuc Robots: The Impor­tance of Cables

At T.I.E. Indus­tri­al, we rec­og­nize that cables are the life­line of any robot­ic sys­tem. Just like arter­ies in the human body, cables in robots are essen­tial for their oper­a­tion. Our range of refur­bished Fanuc robots relies on these cru­cial com­po­nents to con­nect the con­troller to the base, pow­er the robot joints, and oper­ate the End of Arm Tool­ing (EOAT).

When it comes to robot­ic cabling, prop­er pre­ven­tive main­te­nance is very impor­tant. It makes sense to find and solve cabling prob­lems before they cause a tem­po­rary stop in pro­duc­tion. Some envi­ron­ments are hard­er on robot­ic cabling than oth­ers. Foundry and weld­ing set­tings can be dam­ag­ing to cabling. In the way, appli­ca­tions that require quick repet­i­tive move­ments will be more wear­ing than others.

Exter­nal vs. Inter­nal Robot­ic Cabling: Know­ing the Difference

Depend­ing on your Fanuc robot mod­el, you’ll find that cables are either rout­ed exter­nal­ly or tucked away inter­nal­ly. This dis­tinc­tion is cru­cial for main­te­nance and oper­a­tional efficiency.

What to Remem­ber with Inter­nal Cabling

Check your robot­ic cables peri­od­i­cal­ly for wear­ing or cracks. Inspect your inter­nal cabling at each joint, where it is most under stress.

What to Remem­ber with Exter­nal Cabling

Exter­nal robot­ic cabling should fol­low nat­ur­al path­ways, typ­i­cal­ly down the length of the robot arm so it does­n’t inhib­it move­ment or get in the way. Pre­vent cost­ly dam­age to your exter­nal cabling by rout­ing it off the ground when pos­si­ble, out of traf­fic pat­terns, and away from EOAT and parts. Fur­ther­more, cable length should be tak­en into con­sid­er­a­tion as well. Cables that are too long tend to snag more easily.

Proac­tive Main­te­nance: The Key to Unin­ter­rupt­ed Production

Pre­ven­tive Mea­sures for Robot­ic Cabling

Reg­u­lar­ly main­tain­ing your robot­’s cabling can pre­vent sud­den halts in pro­duc­tion. Our team at T.I.E. Indus­tri­al under­stands that cer­tain envi­ron­ments, like foundries and weld­ing areas, can be par­tic­u­lar­ly harsh on cables. Sim­i­lar­ly, appli­ca­tions involv­ing rapid, repet­i­tive move­ments can accel­er­ate wear and tear.

Inter­nal Cabling Tips

For inter­nal cabling, our advice is sim­ple: reg­u­lar­ly inspect for wear or cracks, espe­cial­ly at the joints where stress is highest.

Exter­nal Cabling Strategies

With exter­nal cabling, rout­ing is every­thing. Ensure cables fol­low nat­ur­al paths, avoid ground con­tact, and stay clear of EOAT and parts to pre­vent dam­age. Also, remem­ber that cable length mat­ters – over­ly long cables are prone to snagging.
