Installing Cable Assemblies
CAUTION
Always make connections to the control assembly with power turned off.
Connecting the Motor Control Cable
Motor control cables are supplied in four lengths, 6 ft (1.8 m), 9 ft (2.7 m), 15 ft (4.6 m), and 55 ft (16.8). The 55 ft cable may be used by itself. The 6 ft, 9 ft, and 15 ft cable must be used with the 55 ft cable.
To connect the motor cable between the control assem- bly and the orbital dispenser, do the following:
1.Locate the receptacle on the bottom of the control assembly that is labeled MOTOR CABLE. See FIG. 8.
•Keep cables from rubbing against other components or machinery.
•If a lot of robot wrist motion is required, leave suffi- cient cable length to allow for the motion, avoiding any cable droops that may interfere with the machin- ery or substrate.
•Route and secure the 7 in. motor cable to minimize any movement. The 7 in. motor cable is not intended to handle severe flexing motions.
•Cable ties should only be used to loosely bundle hoses together. Do not tighten cable ties to the point where cable movement is restricted.
