Robotics

As robots integrate more into manufacturing processes, having the proper shielding, protection, and bundling is important for efficient operations. EMI shielding is becoming a necessity due to the various overlapping components that send and receive data from these machines. Ensuring there is no electronic interference between wires or cables is crucial in order to avoid serious complications. In addition to electrical interference, more robots are being utilized in environments that are exposed to high temperatures and weld spatter. Protecting the robot arms and components from these harsh conditions is as important as shielding from EMI/RFI.

Zippertubing® is a manufacturer of custom robotic cable protection and EMI shielding. With utilizing robots in our own manufacturing facility, we understand the importance of keeping the many wires and cables bundled while still allowing for frequent flexing and motion. We specialize in EMI shielding with offering solutions ranging from wrap-around jackets to lightweight sleeves. Additionally, we customize sleeves and wraps to protect from weld spatter, extremely high temperatures, and abrasion.

Sending and receiving large amounts of data with unshielded channels can compromise other robots, machines, or even computers and prevent them from functioning correctly.

Zippertubing® manufactures custom solutions for every type of robotic component challenge.

Proper cable management and EMI/RFI shielding needs to be considered when adding these robots into your processes. Zippertubing® engineers common and custom solutions specifically for the robotics industry. No matter the environment or specification requirements, we will work with you to manufacture the perfect product.
