Wiring Question
Hi
Are we allowed to use non flexible wires as long as they are in the right gauge? :confused: Thanks |

I am not certain what you mean by "non flexible". Do you mean solid-core, single strand wire? If so, yes, you can use it but you really do not want to... Most electrical connectors and crimp tools are designed for multi-strand wire. You need special connectors and crimp tools to work with solid-core wire. Mike |

OK, thanks a lot! We were worried... We do have the right connectors and tools, so we won't have a problem with that :)

Re: Wiring Question
May,
What Mike was saying is that with the vibration that occurs with robot movement, and especially with the required movement of lifts and arms, then you will find your solid wires breaking. A multi-stranded wire can survive a few strands breaking, but if a solid wire breaks, whatever it powers is toast! |
Re: Wiring Question
May,
Are you sure? Such tooling is exceedingly rare and very expensive. In over 40 professional years I have seen such tooling only twice... Regards, Mike |

It is more than that. An attempt to crimp onto solid wire will stretch and weaken the wire at the crimp. The tooling requires is a precise "O-ring" which is machined precisely to the wire gauge. Mike |
