Diagnosing cables - in motion!

摘要

When subjected to motion, cables experience fatigue, which causes complete or intermittent failures, even if that motion is not constant. Fortunately, there are cable and harness test systems that can easily identify and pinpoint the source of even the most elusive intermittent failure. Cables may flex intentionally as part of a pre-programmed robotic move, or unintentionally due to vibrations induced by operation or the environment. To ensure cable performance in such situations, specialized test systems are available.
