Considerations
When you’re completing a robotics project for any industry, having the correct wiring and cable resources is essential. Some of the key factors that determine which wiring products are the right fit for your project include:
- The number of cycles the system requires
- The degree and type of movement the wire or cabling will need to complete
- Electrical factors such as the voltage requirements
- Wiring protections such as EMI shielding, materials with appropriate flammability characteristics, and more
- The environmental factors of the space the robotics system or wiring will perform in, including its temperature, likelihood of abrasion, humidity, and presence of fluids
Identifying these factors can ensure your wiring and cable products have the right protective and performance characteristics for the job.
Electronics Capabilities for the Robotics and Military/Defense Industry
At ABL Electronics, we serve clients across multiple different industries with wire processing and production services as part of our custom solutions offering. Two of our markets are robotics and the military/defense industry.
Our wiring and cable products include:
- High Flex Cable: This cable offers a greater degree of flexibility for continuous and repeated flexing cycles. High flex cables are built for vigorous, high-performance conditions.
- Continuous Flex Cable: Continuous flex cabling solutions can flex and bend continuously as part of robotics, gantries, and other continually moving systems. These cables can roll, flex, and bend in fixed or variable patterns throughout long lifespans of multiple-use cycles.
- Control and Instrumentation Cable: These specialized cables are built to monitor or control electronic robotics and systems that use low-power but complex signals.
- Wire Harness: Wire harnesses are configurations that organize and manage multiple different wires within one specific bundle. They can be customized to fit the performance needs and space requirements of different electronics systems for easier configuration, maintenance, and routing.
- Cable Assembly: Similar to wire harness configurations, robotic cable assemblies organize and protect groups of wires and cables in harsher environments. Its heavy-duty shielding material makes cable assemblies ideal for extreme applications.
Military and Defense Applications
Military and defense operations increasingly incorporate unmanned vehicles for handling dangerous or remote tasks without direct human operation. ABL Electronics’ product team provides wiring solutions for increased unmanned vehicles usage for military and defense applications.
Miniature Wires
Miniature wiring solutions are used in military robotics to manufacture devices that can withstand the extreme circumstances encountered in military environments. Small but robust and flexible wiring products for robotics allow for more innovation, unique applications, and the development of advanced tools.
