The continued automation of processes within the manufacturing industry in southern Africa is fuelling demand for world class robotics that enables local companies to compete on the global stage. Advanced control equipment that ensures the smooth operation of robots in the field is now being used to manipulate these robots to work ever faster and more accurately. Like the central nervous system of a living creature, signals are constantly transmitted between the controllers and the robotic devices in order to facilitate effective operation of the process.
In many manufacturing environments conditions can be arduous, with extreme temperatures, excessive mechanical forces and chemicals and contaminants that can interfere with the machines. As a result, careful attention needs to be paid to designing and manufacturing control cabling paths that can withstand these rigours while performing flawlessly during the manufacturing process.
