Frequently Asked Question
Find answers to common questions about Omron cables and their functionalities.
Straight connectors are ideal for direct, in-line connections, while right-angle connectors are perfect for space-constrained applications or when cable routing requires a 90-degree bend. Right-angle connectors can help prevent cable strain in tight installations.
To maintain IP67 protection, always verify proper connector tightening torque, use appropriate sealing accessories, inspect O-rings regularly, and ensure connector threads are clean and undamaged before installation.
SmartClick technology offers faster installation, consistent connection quality, and audible/tactile feedback confirming proper mating. It eliminates the need for torque tools and reduces installation errors.
Implement monthly visual inspections and quarterly detailed checks of connection points. For high-vibration or harsh environments, increase inspection frequency to bi-weekly.
Select oil-resistant robot cables specifically designed for dynamic applications. These cables feature special PVC compounds or PUR materials that withstand continuous flexing and torsional stress.
While M12 is a standardized format, it’s recommended to use matching Omron components to ensure optimal performance and maintain warranty coverage. Mixing manufacturers may compromise system reliability.
Maximum transmission distance varies by signal type and environmental conditions. For digital signals, distances up to 100m are typically achievable, while analog signals may require shorter runs to maintain signal integrity.
Follow these steps: strip cable jacket to specified length, prepare conductors, insert wires into designated terminals, verify proper seating, tighten cable gland to specified torque, and perform continuity testing.
Consider current requirements, number of conductors, environmental conditions, mechanical stress, and installation space. Also factor in voltage drop over the required distance and any applicable safety regulations.
Use shielded cables when required, maintain proper separation from power cables, implement proper grounding practices, and consider additional shielding or ferrite cores for sensitive applications.
