Test reports of the bus cables

Using the CFBUS.PUR in practice

A machine's display is the control centre where every machine tool function is adjusted and checked. To allow rapid data transmission in real time, these control units often have Ethernet cables. For large systems in particular, it has proven effective to make this control unit moveable, even linearly moveable. A reliable cable is now required to properly map the recurring movement. 

 

Use of the CFBUS in practice

The aim of the test was to determine the service life of the chainflex bus cable in a radius of 100mm with a travel of up to seven metres. This Ethernet cable is required to ensure reliable data transmission over the longest possible service life despite constant movement.
The demand for quality in combination with a small bend radius is particularly prevalent in industrial machines and applications that have to process a large amount of data. In addition, small installation spaces are often a major challenge for the durability of the cables.

Use of the CFBUS.LB in practice

The bus cable shown is often used in applications where fast handling is required. Short cycle times and handling system flexibility are very important here. This means maximum stress for the cables. The food industry is an example. Fast handling robots must combine maximum precision, shortest cycle times and light weight.

 

Using the CFROBOT8 in practice

The CFROBOT8.045 cable is frequently used in automobile production in such applications as mobile measuring units that are assembled on the robot's sixth axis. The robot moves to inspection points and carries out analyses to ensure production quality. In the process, the cables that transport the sensitive Ethernet signal are twisted a great deal. For such tasks, the robot must be 100% reliable. 




 

Using the CFROBOT8.PLUS in practice

Camera-based robot applications are often used in industry for such purposes as recognizing barcodes or performing quality assurance. But this application is also used for a television studio. Here, it is particularly important that an extremely reliable power and data supply takes place and that very demanding movements can be carried out.
