Page 15: Routing The Cable
Manual, F/T Sensor, EtherCAT Axia Document #9610-05-EtherCAT Axia-09 3.2 Routing the Cable The routing and bending radius of the cable depends upon the customer application. Unlike motionless applications, where the cable is in a static condition, dynamic applications subject the cable to a repetitive motion. - Page 16 Manual, F/T Sensor, EtherCAT Axia Document #9610-05-EtherCAT Axia-09 CAUTION: Subjecting the connector to the repetitive motion will cause damage to the connector. Restrain the cable close to the connector so that the repetitive motion of the robot does not interfere with the cable connector. For added stability, zip ties can be used to secure the cable to a mounting bracket (refer to the following figure).
- Page 17 Manual, F/T Sensor, EtherCAT Axia Document #9610-05-EtherCAT Axia-09 CAUTION: Do not cable ties or zip ties to bundle cables or restrain the cable to the robot arm. Directly affixing cable ties or zip ties to the cable jacket will prevent power and signal communication between the F/T sensor and robot controller. Use hook and loop or Velcro straps on the cable jacket surfaces. Examples of the incorrect and correct methods to restrain or bundle cables are in the following pictures: CORRECT INCORRECT DO NOT USE...
