ROBOT CABLE ASSEMBLY
The robot cable routes 115 VAC to the L-arm Rotation Motor. The robot cable is
routed from the Power/Signal Distribution PCB or Column I/O PCB, through the
hollow Horizontal Cross Arm, to the L-arm Motor Power PCB.
When the robot cable leaves the Power Signal/Distribution PCB or Column I/O
PCB it enters the horizontal cross arm through a plate that has been designed to
slide in a slot cut in the bottom of the Horizontal Cross Arm.
When the cross arm is extended and retracted through the Cross Arm Housing
the plastic plate slides in the slot and thus prevents damage to the robot cable
due to mechanical stresses and friction.
