High flexibility, a long service life and data transmission without failures: in modern robot systems cables must deliver top performance. The CFROBOT8.PLUS series from igus meets precisely these requirements. It is designed for torsional movements of up to ±360°/m and has a guaranteed service life of ten million cycles. In addition the outer diameter of the cable was significantly reduced compared with the previous CFROBOT8 series by up to 21 per cent, depending on the model. A decisive advantage, particularly for applications in confined spaces.
Secure data transmission
The CFROBOT8.PLUS.030 is expanding the CFROBOT8.PLUS series to include a bus cable for the established DeviceNet system. It was developed for use in highly dynamic applications such as six-axis robots, handling systems and lead screw drives. The torsion-resistant overall shield made from tinned copper braiding provides reliable shielding and ensures strong data transmission without disruptions - even under extreme mechanical loads. Furthermore, the cable is resistant to oil and UV radiation, which makes it suitable for use both indoors and outdoors.
Apart from traditional robotics applications, the cables can also be used in machine tools or other applications subject to torsional stress. Free-hanging applications, e.g. mobile terminals, can also be implemented. This means that users now have access to a range of products covering all common bus systems, including Profinet, Profibus, CAN bus and Ethernet applications up to CAT7. CFROBOT8.PLUS cables are available from stock and can be purchased in lengths starting at just one metre, with no minimum quantity surcharges and no cutting or packaging costs.
Tested millions of times
Like all chainflex cables, the CFROBOT8.PLUS series is also extensively tested in the igus test laboratory. Tests have already shown that the electrical specifications of the Ethernet communication were still well within the acceptable range even after more than 15 million cycles.
