Components for the wire feedthrough in a robolink joint

Martin Raak | 4. July 2012

How are the wires fed through in a lower joint?

This feedthrough is important to make the movements of the joints independent of each other. For this purpose a Bowden cable system is used, in which 4 draw wires are routed in parallel (Picture 1). The components are shown here to guarantee this feedthrough. A maximum of four wires can be routed in the installation size RL-50. In addition, max. 3 sensor cables or other cables can be fed through the inside (max. diameter 4 mm each):

The following are needed for the feedthrough: 1 upper (Picture 2) and lower (Picture 4) mounting bracket, segments between the end pieces (Picture 3):

RL-50-001: 39 segments

RL-50-002: 43 segments

RL-50-PL1: 26 segments
