Special cable: Super flexible cable for industrial robotics

2023: Cable Creation

Design engineers of the capital's scientific and production enterprise Spetskabel have created an ultra-flexible cable that can withstand several million bending cycles. This was announced on January 24, 2023 by the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of Moscow, which is part of the Complex of Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations of the capital, Vladislav Ovchinsky.

Moscow manufacturers continue to work actively in the field of scientific research and own developments that contribute to the substitution of imported goods on the market. At the same time, local products are of high quality and in terms of key characteristics are several times superior to their foreign counterparts. For example, this development of the capital enterprise "" Special cable will help close Russian the market needs for especially flexible mounting cables for. industrial robotics It is important that mainly domestic materials are used to make the cable, - said Vladislav Ovchinsky.

Preliminary tests showed that the cable's resistance to bending is several times higher than that of the European its counterparts.

The mounting cable is also characterized by a small bending radius, which allows it to be used in robotic technological systems, for example, on automatic production lines or numerically controlled machines.

It was possible to achieve the necessary flexibility thanks to the technologies of beam twisting of copper cores from a large number of thin wires.

As of January 2023, the company is conducting comprehensive cable tests and is preparing to start production.

The production and technological base of the plant allows you to manufacture a large line of such products with different design designs. The series is characterized by oil and gasoline resistance and a large temperature range of operation. The products can be used in extreme conditions, for example, at oilgas-chemical enterprises, including the Arctic Circle, - said Andrey Lobanov, General Director of the Spetskabel enterprise.
