Torsion Resistant Robotic Cables for Industrial Robots

Robot arms twist as well as bend, and that puts a very different kind of stress on a cable. Torsion resistant robotic cables from AP Technology are specifically designed for continuous bending and torsion, including high speed movement and rapid acceleration. They suit articulated robots in welding, palletising, painting and assembly work. Specialist materials and production processes give a high number of operating cycles, which matters on robots where a cable replacement means stopping the whole cell. Dynamic control and automation cable is designed for instrumentation, power and control duties where the cable has to flex and move throughout its operation. The range includes a variety of conductor sizes, screening and jacketing options, and most styles are offered with UL and CSA approvals. Available manufacturing approvals through partners include UL and CSA, VDE, Desina and Lloyd's Register, depending on the cable selected. Standard cable can often be adapted instead of starting from nothing.

AP Technology offers over sheathing in materials such as PUR, PE or LSOH, over armouring with galvanised steel wire braid or single wire armour for direct burial, and spiral striping to make individual cables easier to identify. It is a quicker way of getting an off the shelf product to do a special job. AP Technology was founded in 2001 and is a franchised specialist supplier of cable, connectors, cable assemblies, wire and wire management products. Its main differentiator is service, with in-house cable assembly, scheduled and call-off orders, no minimum order value on stocked products, a cable cutting service, custom labels and packaging, and global shipping.
