Test methods

The quality of the cables and cable systems must be tested in various tests. Different methods are used. These include the drag chain test centre for securing dynamic requirements and cable assembly including various tests such as tensile strength testing. Continuous process monitoring is carried out in cable production. Finally, each cable is checked for its functionality and compliance with the respective customer specifications. Typical test procedures for robot cables include bending cycle tests, flexlife tests and torsion tests.
