According to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, in the first three quarters of 2025, China's industrial robot export value increased by 54.9% year-on-year. This indicates that Chinese-made robots, with their increasingly diverse application scenarios, are continuously expanding their influence in the global market.
In this context, the core challenges faced by industrial robots have become increasingly prominent: their joint cables must maintain signal integrity and stability even under complex operating conditions such as tens of millions cycles of bending cycles and high-frequency electromagnetic interference. The R&D of Zhaolong robotic cables is precisely focused on addressing these challenges, committed to providing reliable "invisible motion guardians" for high-end equipment through material and structural innovations.

Principles for Robotic Cable Selection: Practical Guidelines Based on Scenarios
Selecting industrial robotic cables requires precise alignment with three dimensions: "scenario conditions → performance parameters → compliance standards" to avoid equipment downtime or cost waste caused by selection errors. Based on Zhaolong’s product features, the following practical principles are recommended:
1. Scenario Adaptation: Locking Core Configurations Based on Operating Conditions
Environmental pressures (humidity, oil contamination, abrasion) in different industrial scenarios directly determine the jacket material and structural design of the cables:
Low-Temperature/Oil-Contaminated Scenarios (e.g., Cold Chain Warehouses, Automotive Welding Workshops)
Pain Points: Jacket brittleness at -40°C, swelling due to oil contamination.
Solution: Select PUR-jacketed models (e.g., FD 330CP/FD 320CP).
Low-Temperature Performance: Mobile applications down to -25°C.
High-Frequency Motion Scenarios (e.g., Robotic Arm Joints, AGVs)
Pain Points: Core wire breakage due to frequent torsion (multiple times per minute).
Solution: Choose high-flexibility models (e.g., FD 938CY/FD 330CP).
Torsion Life: ≥10 million cycles (robotic arms), 3–8 million cycles (AGVs).
Bending Radius: 3D (fixed applications), 5D (mobile applications).
2. Performance Matching: Defining Parameters Based on Motion Intensity & Precision Requirements
The motion frequency and operational precision of robots determine the corresponding "mechanical endurance" and "transmission stability" metrics of the cables:
High-Torsion/Bending Scenarios: Focus on "torsion life" and "bending radius". For ultra-high-frequency motion (1–2 torsions per second, e.g., robotic arm joints), select models with torsion life ≥10 million cycles and fixed-application bending radius of 3D (e.g., FD 938CY). For medium-low-speed mobile scenarios (e.g., AGVs), opt for models with 5D bending radius and 3–8 million cycle torsion life to balance performance and cost.
High-Precision Operation Scenarios: For tasks like semiconductor wafer handling or precision assembly, prioritize "anti-interference capability" — select Zhaolong cables with ≥85%–90% shielding coverage to resist electromagnetic interference from inverters and motors, ensuring positional signal stability.
3. Compliance & Service Assurance: Mitigating Risks Through Standards & Customization
Industrial scene entry requirements and post-maintenance needs must be addressed during the selection phase:
Compliance Thresholds: Prioritize multi-standard certified products — ensure compliance with UL safety standards (to avoid electrical risks), RoHS environmental standards (for export needs), and IEC 60228/IEC 60332 flame retardancy requirements to prevent production line acceptance issues.
Customization Services: For non-standard scenarios (e.g., special lengths, irregular cabling), choose brands with flexible customization capabilities. Zhaolong offers length customization, special jacket adaptations, and supports integrated one-cable solutions (power + signal + data) to reduce post-installation cabling modification costs.
Empowering Industrial Automation Upgrades with Reliable Connectivity
The stable operation of industrial robots in complex scenarios consistently relies on the reliability of their cables. Zhaolong robotic cables provide foundational support through three core capabilities: tens of millions of motion cycles, full-environment endurance, and integrated cost reduction. Backed by the intelligent manufacturing capabilities of our Deqing production base and our CNAS-certified laboratory (certificate No. L12345), we will continue to deepen research in high-reliability cable technologies, delivering stable, high-speed connectivity for industrial robots.
