Loose connections or unstable feedback cannot be tolerated in high-speed motion control. Any variation in the drive/motor will show up as a positioning error, jerk during acceleration or false alarms. With that in mind, Schneider Electric has designed the VW3M5105R50 Servo Cable to ensure that the application will have consistent signal transfer and reliable power transfer to ensure precision of the equipment. Perfect Automation & Innovation offers these cables for applications where production precision relies upon uninterrupted communication between the servo components.
The inner construction of the cable provides low capacitance and comprehensive shielding, ensuring that encoder signals remain free from noise in the electrically noisy industrial environment. The fine-stranded conductors allow for continuous flexing in drag chains without causing fatigue to the wire core. The outer jacket is made from material capable of withstanding contact with oils, abrasion and repeated bending associated with automatic equipment.
Prewired connections on pre-wired connectors ensure accuracy of pin configuration and saving time in commissioning at site. Locking mechanism keeps a firm hold against machine vibration to minimize any chance of intermittent faults while operating. Where routing and/or length may affect cable travel with machine and panel layout will cause signal delays or excessive loops.
Every cable undergoes testing for continuity, insulation resistance, and shielding performance prior to shipment.
CNC Machine, pick and place systems, packaging lines, and robotic automation applications utilize these servo cables; stable motion control, quick response, and consistent positioning all influence on quality of output and operational uptime.
