Long travel axes can place varying levels of stress on your motion wires based upon cable weight, cable bend radius, and the distance the electrical noise must travel before affecting the feedback loop. Schneider has designed the Servo Cable, VW3M5101R50, for long cable runs so that both signal quality and ability to reliably transmit power over time remain stable during continuous machine movement. Perfect Automation & Innovation provides cable solutions to support your servo drive systems under production speeds and duty cycles.
Conductor construction is designed to be able to carry the rated current without creating a temperature rise along the entire length of the cable. Fine stranded conductors provide for smooth bending from inside drag chains and prevent breaking internally due to repeated bending. Shielding design minimizes electromagnetic interference and allows for accurate encoder communication when routing encoders in conjunction with power cables.
The pre-assembled connectors keep a consistent pin configuration, thus making the installation time at the site shorter. The positive locking system helps prevent loose connections that would otherwise occur due to vibration and rapid acceleration. The outer sheath material has been selected specifically for its resistance to oil exposure, abrasion and mechanical stress that are typically experienced by automated equipment.
Before dispatch, each cable is verified for electrical continuity, insulation strength and shielding effectiveness.
Servo cables are also used in automated storage equipment, gantry systems, CNC machining centres, high-speed packaging lines, where precise positioning, fast response and uninterrupted feedback have a direct impact on machine accuracy as well as overall production output.
