Re: Power Distribution Block Wiring

Tsom,
I recommend you secure the wires somewhere near the block so that they won't move when the robot moves. I am assuming your terminal block is hard mounted to the robot frame so that it isn't moving as well. Are you using hard copper wiries with a few strands or flexible wire with a high strand count? The hard wire may need to be tightened a few times before it finally conforms to the inside of the terminal block. Give us a report in a few days if these work.
