Fanuc Robots Designs Complete Dress Package

Every­one needs to save mon­ey. What bet­ter way for a man­u­fac­tur­er to save mon­ey on his equip­ment than to invest in fea­tures that will reduce main­te­nance costs over time? Indus­tri­al robot man­u­fac­tur­ers, like Fanuc Robot­ics, use cable man­age­ment sys­tems, called dress pack­ages, to reduce wear and tear on cables and hoses feed­ing indus­tri­al robot arms.

Cables, hoses, and air­lines are inte­gral parts of most indus­tri­al robot arms. Cables often car­ry elec­tric­i­ty to end-of-arm-tool­ing (EOAT). Hoses can car­ry coolant, oil, or many oth­er kinds of mate­ri­als. Air­lines, like the word implies, car­ry air, and some­times gas­es, for weld­ing applications.

Robot dress pack­ages reduce time spent on pre­ven­ta­tive main­te­nance by pro­vid­ing an orga­nized way of cov­er­ing and pro­tect­ing cables, hoses, and air­lines from sparks, pol­lu­tants, and oth­er envi­ron­men­tal haz­ards. Instead of cables and oth­er acces­sories hang­ing from the robot arm in an unor­ga­nized fash­ion, an out­er cov­er­ing called an umbil­i­cal pro­tects them.

Dress pack­ages are avail­able for almost every indus­tri­al robot in the Fanuc Robot­ics line. Some mod­els, such as Fanuc’s M‑410 pal­letiz­ing robot arm, come equipped with a dress pack­age from the start. Oth­er arms, such as the M‑16iL or ARC Mate 100i, have the option of dress pack­age inte­gra­tion.

Any indus­tri­al appli­ca­tion that uses cables, hoses, and oth­er acces­sories that usu­al­ly hang onto the robot arm are qual­i­fied to use a dress pack­age, includ­ing arc weld­ing, spot weld­ing, mate­r­i­al han­dling, pal­letiz­ing, and many oth­er indus­tri­al applications.
