The requirements for signal stability have not changed, even with shortened axis travel. The amount of room available for routing cables in compact machines is smaller, and as a result, electrical noise will be closer to the motion system. The Schneider Servo Cable VW3M8102R30 is the optimum cable for use in these conditions, where accurate feedback is essential and transmission of power must be uninterrupted. At Perfect Automation & Innovation, we supply these cables for use in high-speed applications using servo motors with very little room available for installation.
The conductor design has been developed to support the current requirements while providing sufficient flexibility for continuous bending due to dynamic movement. The shield design provides a virtual "clean" circuit for encoder communication regardless of whether the cable is routed through a crowded machine or panel. The outer jacket material is designed specifically to withstand the effects of oil mist, abrasions, and repeated flexing associated with the operation of automated equipment.
By utilizing pre-assembled connectors, you can ensure proper pin configurations and minimize how much time you spend wiring in the field. A strong locking feature also provides secure contacts even under vibration and during rapid acceleration cycles. Longer lengths of cable will be fabricated based on the actual movement of the end of the axis to eliminate excessive loop lengths and signal delay.
Each cable that we send out will have been tested for continuity, insulation strength, and shield performance before it leaves our facility.
These types of servo cables can be found in CNC machinery, pick-and-place equipment, packaging machines and robotic systems where precision positioning, quick response times, and stable motion control are needed to produce accurate output and increase the running time of machines.
