SAB Bröckskes introduces innovative control cable axis 7

The cable is designed for use in robots particularly in drag chains for axis 7 and distinguishes itself by a high resistance against different chemicals or solvents commonly used in robotic painting applications.

SAB Bröckskes, the leading manufacturer of special cables, brings a new control cable for robot drag chain applications to the market, engineered for use in paint robots, axis 7.

In a paint shop (painting line in the automotive industry) cables get in contact with highly aggressive chemicals like coatings, solvents and lubricants. According to the manufacturer the new cable has two unique features of great importance. One of which is the robustness for drag chain applications and the other is the resistance against the specific environmental conditions associated with robotic painting applications.

Special construction

The insulation and sheath compounds are especially engineered for flame and chemical resistance. The robust construction of the cable is essential for continuous flex use in drag chains.

The latest development for robot technology of SAB Bröckskes fulfills the demanding flame test FT4 for the North American market.

Special characteristics of the cable:

    Flame-retardant and self-extinguishing
    Vertical flame test FT 4
    Oil and chemical resistance
    Maximum durability under high mechanical stress
    Permanent flexibility

Tested under real operating conditions The cable manufacturer put the construction elements and materials through extensive endurance tests under real operating conditions. Furthermore, the materials were exposed to harsh chemicals in the laboratory to simulate the environment of the paint shop. All tests were successfully passed and the cable was released for mass production. The successful release for mass production underlines once again the competence of the cable specialist in robot technology. In addition to the latest development SAB offers a broad product range for the robot industry:

    Primary cables
    Control cables
    Welding gun cables
    Supply cables
    Proportional valve cable
    Bus cables
    Camera cables
    Cables for dress packs

SAB is going to present the new cable at Automatica in hall B3, booth 103 from 21st to 24th June 2016 in Munich.
