Robot cables are used in wiring robot arms and cable carriers. Compared to general-purpose components, these cables feature excellent durability characteristics, such as heat resistance, oil resistance and flex resistance. There are 3 main types of robot cables: cables for moving parts such as robotic arms and cable carriers, cables for fixed applications suitable for use in a cleanroom environment, and network cables with excellent flex resistance and shielding. Robot cables feature conductors coated in insulation and additionally jacketed with PVC resin or heat-resistant vinyl compound. Cables feature different characteristics, such as flexibility of the insulator or heat resistance, and must be selected to suit the operating environment and machinery.
