Cable shield
Robots and peripheral equipment at the manufacturing site are exposed to various threats such as friction, sparks, and chemicals.
Our cable shield is a high performance cloth cover, which protects the wiring/cables of robots and other equipment from such physical threats.
By preventing cable breakage, disruption caused by production line issues can be prevented and overall productivity can be improved and stabilized.
We have a wide variety of fabrics according to the application, so you can use them with confidence in various situations.
In addition, the removable design makes it easy to remove for the maintenance.
Since it is manufactured in-house, it is possible to respond to short delivery times and small batches.
Role of cable shield
- Cable protection from friction
Protects against friction generated when the main unit and the cable come into contact. - Cable protection from sparks
Protects against sparks generated during welding. - Protection from chemicals
Protects against strongly acidic chemicals and oil stains. - Protection from dirt
Protects against scattered particles and dust. - Bundle cables
Combining multiple cables stabilizes the operation and creates a neat and tidy appearance.

Test results
- Meta-aramid fiber cloth
- Even after 2 minutes of heating, there is no residual flame or residue.
The carbonized area when heated for 1 minute is 6.6㎠. The carbonized area when heated for 2 minutes is 8.75㎠.
There was no flame after 2 minutes. -
- Polyester
- Flame begins to spread after 3 to 4 seconds, and fire takes hold after 10 seconds.
The flames broke out within a few seconds after igniting but burned out almost instantly. -
