Cable withstands torsion in all three dimensions
igus has launched a cable with individual conductors designed to withstand high levels of torsion in all three dimensions. The robot-suitable cable is ideal for robotic and other applications, such as rotary tables or spindle drives that must be supplied with high power levels.
Contrary to conventional braided copper shields, which are counter-wound, a torsion-resistant, tin-plated copper shield sheath is used with CF Robot. The forces at work on the cable are largely absorbed by sliding and buffer elements between the sheath, shield and insulation. This prevents early failure of the shield.
The outer sheath material is a high-grade TPE mixture with especially good wear properties.
The new robot cable has already been tested in the igus test laboratories through more than three million torsional movements between +/- 270°.
