Schneider Servo Cable VW3M5101R100

As the machine's layout will span a long distance of travel, and because the cable is now a part of the actual motion system, the weight and bending radius will affect the accuracy of the positioning of the machine to complete cycles of production over and over again. The Schneider servo cables VW3M5101R100 were designed to provide continual power flow and stable feedback for these types of long-run applications.

At Perfect Automation & Innovation, we carry a full line of large format automated equipment cables that are specifically designed to support dynamic motion without adversely affecting the servo response.

Conductor sizing will be sized so that each conductor is capable of carrying the rated load over the entire length without experiencing any thermal stress. Additionally, the conductors will have a fine-stranded configuration that will enable them to provide a smooth operation in drag chain applications and prevent internal conductor breakage caused by flexing.

Various multi-layer shielding configurations will be utilized to help prevent encoder communication from becoming contaminated while routed next to high current feeder or switching devices. The outer jacket will be designed to provide resistance to oil, abrasion and mechanical wear as a result of common conditions found in industrial environments.

Marcus Blackwood has written an article outlining how connectors at the factory maintain precise pin configurations meaning quicker installation times on-site. Additionally, the design of positive locks to ensure connections do not disconnect under vibration or sudden acceleration. The route/length of cables will also match the exact amount of motion on the actual axes to eliminate unnecessary looped cable and maintain signal response.

Each unit will be tested prior to shipment for continuity, insulation resistance, and effective shielding.

Due to their reliable connectivity, servocables are commonly found in use with gantry automation, large CNC machines, automated storage systems, and high-speed packaging lines where precision movement control directly supports the machine's reliability and uptime.
