The flexible movement cables exit the track at the middle of the stroke of the
carriage and are selected from standard lengths based on the travel length of the
carriage based on the total stroke of the carriage.
FlexTrack cables lengths
The FlexTrack flexible and static cables (power & resolver) are available in standard
lengths of 5 m, 10 m and 15 m lengths.
Robot cables
If the FlexTrack is ordered prepared for a manipulator, the cable chain should
contain the suitable flexible movement cables. Robot floor cables should be ordered
with the robot.
