Robotics - Triumph of Artificial Intelligence

Robotics is the supreme discipline for cables
 
As demanding as the tasks performed by robots are, the requirements for the cabling are
equally stringent. That is why the issue of robotics is a major focus in the Lapp Group. Building
on a wealth of manufacturing expertise within the company, while the French subsidiary Lapp
Muller in Grimaud has specialists with more than 25 years' experience in robot and drag chain
applications.

This know-how creates competence. Ultimately, competence is exactly what it takes to be
successful in robotics, with its countless range of applications and individual designs. It is an
area where practically no two applications are the same. This means that every cable solution
also has to be unique, whether it is to provide a specific power supply for robots or high-performance
data transmission, for example when building robots with high resolution camera
systems.


However, for many robot applications the outer material of a cable is just as crucial as what
is inside. The cable may need to be able to withstand mechanical abrasion and chemicals,
or requirements might include resistance to harsh working environments, or extreme tensile
strength. Whatever people demand from a robot as an indefatigable worker, they demand
exactly the same from the cables.
