Kuka Robot Data Cable

The Kuka Robot Data Cable, also known as the KUKA Encoder Cable (Model No. 00-174-775), is an essential communication component for KUKA C4 robot controllers, specifically connecting to X21/X31 interface ports. This cable ensures precise data transmission between the encoder and controller, supporting high-performance robot motion and stability in automated applications.

Product Specification

Design Considerations

The KUKA Robot Encoder Cable is engineered to meet demanding industrial requirements, with key design focuses on:

• Stability – Delivers stable power and signal transmission for uninterrupted robotic operation.

• Reliability – Resistant to mechanical wear and electrical interference, ensuring long-term performance.

• Safety – Meets fire and electrical safety standards to prevent hazards such as electric shock or short circuits.

Durability & Protection

• Flame-retardant sheath: Rated VW-1 for superior fire resistance in harsh factory environments.

• Industrial-grade insulation: Reduces the risk of signal loss and external electromagnetic interference.

• Robust mechanical build: Designed to resist bending, abrasion, and cable fatigue over extended use cycles.

Maintenance Guidelines

To ensure the long-term stability and safety of your KUKA robot system, regular encoder cable maintenance is essential:

1. Routine Inspection – Periodically check connections, insulation integrity, and signal stability.

2. Prompt Replacement – Replace the cable immediately if wear, damage, or failure is detected.

3. Protective Routing – Use appropriate cable trays or protection sleeves to avoid external damage.

Application Scope
