Motion control systems can vary from simple, straightforward single-axis direct-drive systems with little wiring to large and complex multi-axis robotic systems with a hornet’s nest of cables. This is usually where cabling, which was an afterthought, now takes center stage. Especially where there are lots of cables and wiring, cable management becomes an issue. A simple form of cable management uses twist-tie type bundlers that tie together groups of wires and cables. These are low cost and easy to use. The problem is that with more and more cabling, they become impractical. Also, if the wiring and cabling have to be suspended, bundling them together may pose weight problems which cause sagging and put undue strain on the cables. Using cable carriers is another option.
In this Design Guide, we detail cable carrier subtypes as well as the different designs into which cable carriers integrate.
