Cabling
The 404LXR is available with two (2) types of cabling:
•
Cable Transport Module
•
This is a complete cable management system including high flex cable (life rating of 10
million cycles, dependent on motion cycle speeds, acceleration and environmental condition),
cable carriers, and connector system. This has been engineered for high life, maintenance
free operation. Extension cables are used to connect the table connector block to the
amplifier and controller. Refer to cabling diagrams for pin-out and wire color information.
•
The Cable transport module is replaceable. See Chapter 6,
Cable Management Module
Replacement
, for replacement P/N’s and a detailed procedure of the replacement process.
•
Un-harnessed OEM Cable System
•
This option provides high flex round cables directly from the carriage. This option is provided
for applications where the design of the machine already has a cable management system.
Four cables come from the carriage connector: motor, encoder, Hall effect and limit/home
sensor cables.
•
Recommended bend radius for these cables is 100mm. This radius will provide 10 million
cycles of the cable. Smaller bend radius will reduce cable life while larger bend radius will
increase life. The un-harnessed OEM cable system can be replaced. Refer to Chapter 6,
Cable Management Module Replacement
. The same carriage connector is used here and
can be removed and replaced with a new assembly.
