| Test number: | 5064 |
| Bend radius: | 75mm (factor 10.3 x d) |
| Service life: | 17 million strokes |
A machine's display is the control centre where every machine tool function is adjusted and checked. To allow rapid data transmission in real time, these control units often have Ethernet cables. For large systems in particular, it has proven effective to make this control unit moveable, even linearly moveable. A reliable cable is now required to properly map the recurring movement.
| Test number: | 5006a |
| Cable type | Ethernet cable |
| Bend radius: | 100mm (factor 9.8 x d) |
| Service life: | 41 million strokes |
The aim of the test was to determine the service life of the chainflex bus cable in a radius of 100mm with a travel of up to seven metres. This Ethernet cable is required to ensure reliable data transmission over the longest possible service life despite constant movement.
The demand for quality in combination with a small bend radius is particularly prevalent in industrial machines and applications that have to process a large amount of data. In addition, small installation spaces are often a major challenge for the durability of the cables.
| Test number: | 5108 |
| Bend radius: | 55mm (factor 6.6 x d) |
| Service life: | more than 24 million strokes |
The bus cable shown is often used in applications where fast handling is required. Short cycle times and handling system flexibility are very important here. This means maximum stress for the cables. The food industry is an example. Fast handling robots must combine maximum precision, shortest cycle times and light weight.
