Cables for industrial 6-axis robots

A six-axis arm asks three different things of its cables: bending on the lower axes, torsion at the wrist, and a controller harness that never moves but has to be right the first time. The construction is chosen per axis, and the dress pack is delivered cut, terminated and labelled per joint.

What the application demands

Requirement and answer

Wrist torsion of ±180° per metre and more, millions of times

Torsion-rated cores with a long lay and a sliding separator, a screen angle that tolerates the twist, confirmed against the cable maker's rating for the construction.

Weld spatter, cutting oil and abrasion in the dress pack

PUR jackets with oil and abrasion resistance; spatter-resistant and halogen-free variants where the cell requires them.

Controller cabinet harnesses to the robot maker's drawing

Board-built harnesses with the specified connector series, workmanship class agreed per project, test scope confirmed in the quotation.

Typical cables

What usually gets built for it

Joint and dress pack torsion cables
