Q&A: Overcoming Cable Challenges in Automated Applications

This Q&A explains the key differences between drag chain cables and torsion-rated cables; how to avoid common mistakes when designing and installing them; and how to avoid the common failure modes surrounding robotic dress packs. You will learn the key differences between cables suited for drag chain applications and those that are suited for robotic applications, the common mistakes and failures associated with drag chain installation and what should be considered to avoid them and best practices for designing a robotic dress pack to avoid mistakes and failure modes.
