CNC Machine Drag Chain Cable
Continuous-flex power and control cable for machine tool drag chains, rated in bending cycles.
View constructionSmall cross-sections, high core counts and torsional duty for robotic axes and electronics lines.
A robot joint does not simply bend its cable — it rotates it, back and forth, about the cable axis. A construction that works perfectly in a linear drag chain will fail within weeks in that duty. For robotic and 3C equipment axes we use torsion-rated constructions with concentric lay and a defined torsion angle per metre, and we ask for the joint's rotation angle and cycle count up front.
Electronics assembly lines, dispensing heads and inspection gantries give the cable very little room and often need many signals in a small jacket. We build compact high-core-count bundles down to 0.14 mm² with colour or print identification, optionally screened, and can supply them pre-terminated with the connector set used by the machine builder.

This construction is supplied into the following installations. Tell us which one applies and we will confirm the governing requirement.
Core count and cross-section, screen arrangement, sheath compound and colour, print legend, length and termination are all built to order. Send the requirement — including the failed OEM part if this is a replacement — and we will propose the construction and confirm the lead time.
