Schneider Servo Cable VW3M5103R50

With the increasing frequency of motion systems experiencing encoder errors due to inadequate interconnections, it is imperative that there be a way to provide stable communication between the servo drive and the motor while still offering flexibility through electrical disturbances. The Schneider Servo Cable VW3M5103R50 has been developed to meet these operational conditions. Perfect Automation and Innovation offers a variety of different cables that provide reliable support for precision automation systems with respect to maintaining the integrity of their signals over long work hours.

The wire size has been chosen so that when carrying a continuous load will not cause an increase in temperature due to conduction or resistive losses. The use of finely stranded wire within the cable allows for free movement of the wires when placed within drag chains as well as any other limited routing systems without creating internal fatigue in the individual conductors. The shielding has been designed to reduce the impact of electromagnetic fields, thereby allowing accurate feedback signals to be received by the processor even if the panel houses multiple switching devices.

Connections that are made at the factory have precisely laid out pins, which provide less opportunity for wiring mistakes when connecting wires at the facility. Each connector features positive-locking mechanisms that will prevent the connector from coming loose due to either mechanical vibration or rapid changes in speed. The material used to create the outer cover of the connector was selected for its ability to withstand the various oils, abrasives and wear found in automated devices.

The cables are inspected to ensure that they have continuity (no breaks in the wires), correct level of insulation resistance (to prevent shorts) and an adequate level of shielding (to reduce interference).

Applications for these types of cables include; CNC machining centres; robotic-pick and place systems; packaging equipment and automated assembly lines, where, their ability to provide a consistent positional location, smooth motion capability and continual positional feedback supports not only production efficiencies but also the reliability of the equipment.
