Industrial Robotics Industry FAQ

This FAQ is designed to address common sourcing and technical questions related to industrial robot wire harnesses, connectors, cables, and accessories, supporting automation and intelligent manufacturing projects.

1. What industrial robotics applications do you support?

We support a wide range of industrial robotics and automation applications, including:

Robotic arms and manipulators
End-of-arm tooling (EOAT)
Servo motors and drives
Control cabinets and controllers
Vision systems and sensors
Automated production lines and cells

Our products are suitable for factory automation, smart manufacturing, and industrial robotics systems.

2. What types of connectors are commonly used in industrial robots?

We supply connectors widely used in industrial robotic systems, such as:

Power connectors for motors and drives
Signal and control connectors
Encoder and feedback connectors
Shielded connectors for EMI-sensitive environments
Circular connectors and locking connectors for vibration resistance

Available brands include TE Connectivity, Amphenol, Molex, JST, Hirose, Sumitomo, as well as qualified alternative manufacturers.

3. Do you support high-flex and continuous motion cable requirements?

Yes.

Industrial robots often require cables capable of continuous bending, torsion, and dynamic movement. We support cable selection and assemblies based on:

High-flex and drag chain applications
Torsion and twisting requirements
Long cycle life
Abrasion and oil resistance

Please specify motion conditions for accurate recommendations.

4. Can you supply robot wire harnesses or custom cable assemblies?

Yes.

We support custom wire harnesses and cable assemblies for industrial robotics, including:

Robot arm internal harnesses
External dress packs
Motor, encoder, and feedback cable assemblies
Prototype and production harnesses

BOMs, drawings, or sample references are welcome for quotation.

5. Are your products suitable for harsh industrial environments?

Components supplied for industrial robotics can support requirements related to:

Oil, chemical, and coolant resistance
High vibration and mechanical stress
Wide operating temperature ranges
EMI / EMC performance

Environmental conditions should be specified during RFQ submission.

6. Can you provide alternative parts if original brands have long lead times?

Yes.

If original branded connectors or cables have extended lead times, we can propose compatible alternative solutions with:

Equivalent electrical and mechanical performance
Proven usage in industrial automation applications
More flexible lead times

All alternatives are offered for customer evaluation and approval.

7. Are samples available for industrial robotics projects?

Samples may be available depending on the part number and project stage.

For custom robot harness or cable projects, samples can be prepared after technical confirmation.

8. What information is required to quote an industrial robotics project?

To provide an accurate and efficient quotation, we recommend including:

Manufacturer part number or complete BOM
Quantity and estimated annual demand
Robot type or application
Cable motion requirements (bending radius, torsion, cycles)
Operating environment

Technical drawings and datasheets help accelerate the quotation process.

9. Do you support prototype and low-volume production?

Yes.

We regularly support R&D, prototype, pilot, and low-volume production for industrial robotics projects, as well as volume supply for mature platforms.
