Modern automated production machines, robots and transportation systems require cables that are capable of withstanding enormously high mechanical stress. Automated machinery with ancillary handling systems can involve both stretching and rotating motions. In such cases the cables are subjected to enormous reverse bending stresses at tight radii. This is why it is so important to select the right materials for the job, such as alloy litz wires, in order to guarantee the cable’s long-term durability.
