Cable protection

The condition of the supply lines and cable harnesses is one of the decisive factors for the reliable operation of robots and production machines. To avoid faults in the supply lines, they can be protected by hoses, sleeves or sheaths.

 

MATERIALS

A variety of materials are available. The material is chosen according to the functional, mechanical and thermal requirements. One material that has proven to be extremely resilient is leather. It is flexible, does not burn and does not develop toxic fumes when burnt. In addition, it is possible to
In addition, it is possible to specifically influence the material properties by means of coatings or reinforcements. Bellows can be used to protect supply lines, but can also take on the function of expansion joints. As soft expansion joints, they are made of leather or technical fabrics.

Material and design are criteria that are already important during planning. Expertise and experience are required here.

 

EXECUTIONS

  • Protective tube, long side closed
  • Protective hose with press stud, Velcro or zip fastener for retrofitting
  • as bellows
  • as a combination of hose and bellows
  • as protective bonnet

CRITERIA THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT:

  • Optimum protection
  • high bending elasticity
  • easy adaptation to the course of movement
  • non-slip attachment
  • correct choice of material, especially for high thermal or mechanical stresses
