By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx jour nalists report that a patent by the inventorsGu, Hao (Shanghai, CN), Zhang, Jia fan (Shanghai, CN), filed on July 17, 2019, was published online onOctober 1, 2 024.The patent’s assignee for patent number 12103167 is ABB Schweiz AG (Baden, Switz erland).News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Cables which are usually arranged in arm links of the robo t are key components working in industrialrobots. Because the arm links of the robot typically rotate around a joint, how to route the cable to preventthe cab le from affecting rotation range of the robot arm link and prevent premature fai lure of the cableis a challenge in robot design. Even for static cables, due to problems such as space occupation, there isstill necessary to consider how to reduce the space occupation of the cables when designing a small robot.“Furthermore, it is time-consuming in cable assembly during the industrial robot assembly. Due to theflexibility of the cables, they are prone to deformation f rom their initial shapes during the assembly, whichincreases the difficulty of the routing and thus reduces the efficiency of the industrial robot assembly.Th e operator’s experience is usually required to arrange the cable in the arm link . In addition, assome cables would pass through the whole robot from a robot ba se to its wrist, the robot needs to bealmost disassembled and then re-assembled during replacement of the cable, increasing the difficulties inmaintenance.”
