Cable Solutions for Robotics and Automated Handling

Robots and automated handling equipment demand far more from cable than a fixed installation ever would. AP Technology supplies cable solutions for this sector, built to survive repeated movement, torsion and acceleration over a long and busy working life. Applications include articulated robots, gantries, pick and place units and palletising systems. A short conversation about motion, speed and cycle life gets you much closer to the right cable than looking at a catalogue specification on its own. AP Technology provides sense, control and automation interconnection products for industrial and automotive plants, buildings, airports and other modes of transport. The products supplied are highly flexible control, power and increasingly hybrid cables, with increased mechanical stress ratings for moving, highly moving and extreme motion applications. The aim is to help designers and engineers deliver control systems on time and to budget. Connectors complete the picture. M17, M23 and M40 ranges support quick lock Speedtec coupling, EMC shielded housings and IP66/67 sealing when connected, which suits machinery that is vibrating, moving and regularly maintained.

Bringing the cable, connector, glands and assembly work through one supplier also means one conversation when something needs changing. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery. Whether you need a handful of connectors for a repair or a repeat programme of tested assemblies, AP Technology works as a one stop shop for interconnect products. Standard items and customised products can sit on the same order and the same account. Need a price or some technical advice on cable solutions for robotics and automated handling?
