Hybrid Cable Solutions To Define Automation

Cables are essential par of automation. Here is an overview of the role they play in the successful operations.

- Marc Jarrault

Cables are the backbone of industrial automation sector. The last two decades have witnessed developments in automation technology that is changing the nature of manufacturing industry today. The increased penetration of technology into the industry has gained a competitive advantage for players in the manufacturing world. This evolution has generated a demand for hybrid and single-cable solutions that are compact and light and use minimal space and promise high speed.

Characteristics of cables for robotics and automation

Robots today are seen working alongside people across sectors be it lifting heavy loads or accurately apply paint over and over with exact precision. Their movement sequences look like highly choreographed routines featuring extreme bending and rotary motions, demanding the highest levels of flexibility, stability, and durability from all the components, integrated cables, and cable systems used. The failure of just one component brings the entire production line to a standstill, causing losses running into millions.
