The connection between a motor and its drive system affects motion control. Many features of motion control can be affected by factors such as continual flexing of the connection, electrical noise and vibration of the machine. Therefore, a conventional cable will not be sufficient for reliable performance when subjected to these conditions. The Schneider Servo Cable VW3M5104R50 is designed for applications where feedback stability, consistent power transmission, and good mechanical flexibility must be achieved together in the same installation. We at Perfect Automation & Innovation provide support for the installation of servo systems with cables that can provide an uninterrupted signal in long-term applications.
Cables are built using fine-strand conductors to eliminate stress points associated with continuous movement through a drag chain system. In addition, the shielding is designed to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on encoder communications when the cable paths run close to power feeders and switching devices. The insulation and outer jackets are made from materials that resist the effects of heat, oil, and abrasion typical of the machine tool industry.
Connectors mounted in factory ensure that the pin has been configured correctly and save installer time during the start-up process (electrical and mechanical connections will be fully connected before being delivered to the end user).
The secure locking mechanism prevents disconnection due to vibration during high-speed operation.
Cable length is sufficient to accommodate the entire travel of the machine's axis of movement while avoiding an excess of coil lengths and resultant delays in signal transfer over a period of time.
Every unit is thoroughly tested for electrical continuity, resistance to insulation, and shielding effectiveness prior to being shipped.
These servo cables are typically used on CNC machines, automated assembly lines, packaging systems & robots where accuracy is required to produce a given item or process with consistent quality. The use of servo technologies improves automation production and machine reliability.
