Cable protection in robotics and automation

You can view this page in:

PMA Cable Protection System for Automation has been conceived to protect cables and wires in extreme automation and robotic installations. Through different conduit types for various requirements, system supports and a range of special accessories, torsion can be avoided and the stresses upon the cables reduced to a minimum. Special conduit designs, supports and abrasion protection sleeves provide optimal protection along the entire length of all moving elements, enabling engineers to achieve a massive reduction in torsion forces.
