The Compact Servo Axis' faster cycle time combined with smaller movements create more stress on the servo motor's interconnect cable than on many other Machine Components. The moment there is any variation in feedback or power being supplied through this interconnect cable, you will start to see positioning errors or drive Trips. The LXM23 Servo Cable has specifically been designed for those Motion Applications that require all three of these items to work together to provide a flexible solution, stable signal, and long flex life. At Perfect Automation & Innovation, we provide you with all of the necessary components to ensure your Machines can operate continuously under high acceleration and deceleration conditions.
Fine stranded conductors allow for repeated bending within drag chain systems without causing any internal core damage to the conductor being bent around the drag chain system. These fine stranded conductors can withstand bending up to 1,000 times before being damaged internally. The shield construction minimizes electronic interference on the encoder signals from other possible sources when routed through panels containing switching devices or power feeders. The conductors are sized appropriately based on the servo load, preventing an increase in temperature over the extended hours of production. The outer jacket of the servo cable has been selected for its ability to withstand oils and wear and tear due to the frequent use of automated machinery.
Connectors that are assembled in the factory allow the working pins to have the correct position and reduce the time for commissioning at the site. The locking mechanism prevents accidental loss of signals due to vibration and switching from one axis to another fast. Cables are planned for actual travel distances to reduce the amount of cable that will be coiled (looped) off, also allowing for fast response.
Prior to shipping, each servo cable will undergo quality testing for continuity, insulation resistance and performance of shielding.
These servo cables are utilized widely in CNC machines, Palletizing pick and place systems, Packaging lines and Robotic automated systems, as failure to provide precision in positioning, smooth motion control and consistent feedback creates inconsistency in production and degrades the overall reliability of the machine.
