OTC Robot CN2 Encoder Cable for FD11 Controller

OTC Robot CN2 Encoder Cable for FD11 Controller 

Product Description

An OTC Robot Encoder Cable is a type of cable used to transmit signals from the encoder to the robot controller. Encoders are devices that measure the rotational position and speed of a robot's joints or motors, and the Encoder Cable is responsible for transmitting this information to the controller for processing and feedback control.

OTC Robot Encoder Cable are an essential component of OTC industrial robots, providing reliable signal transmission for accurate and precise robotic automation in manufacturing and other industrial applications.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

The CN2 Encoder Cable incorporates several advanced features that make it suitable for demanding industrial environments:

1. High-Speed Data Transmission:
The cable's twisted pair design with precise impedance matching (120Ω ±5%) ensures reliable signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments, with a bit error rate (BER) of less than 10⁻¹² at 10 Mbps.

2. Robust Mechanical Design:
Constructed with aramid fiber reinforcement and polyurethane outer jacket, the cable withstands tensile forces up to 150N while maintaining flexibility, with a crush resistance of 500N/cm².

3. Environmental Resistance:
The cable meets UL AWM 20276 standards with oil resistance (IRM 902 oil immersion at 60°C for 168 hours), UV resistance (1000 hours xenon arc testing), and flame retardancy (UL VW-1).

4. Precision Timing:
Maintains signal skew of less than 5ns/m between conductor pairs, critical for high-resolution encoders with resolutions up to 24 bits/revolution.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures long-term reliability:

Visual Inspection:
Perform bi-weekly inspections for:

• Jacket abrasion (check for >10% thickness reduction)

• Connector pin oxidation (measure contact resistance <50mΩ)

• Shield integrity (verify continuity <1Ω end-to-end)

Cleaning Procedures:
Quarterly cleaning should include:

• Connector cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (99.9% purity)

• Jacket cleaning with pH-neutral cleaners (5

• Inspection under 10x magnification for micro-cracks

Performance Testing:
Annual testing should include:

• Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) for impedance verification

• Bit Error Rate testing at operational data rates

• Insulation resistance measurement (>100MΩ at 500VDC)
