LR Mate/25 (M-20iB) Series End of Arm Tooling Cable Routing

In this video, we’ll walk through how to properly route end-of-arm tooling cables and hoses to the J3 connections on the LR Mate/25 (R-50iA) and M-20iB (R-30iB Plus & earlier) robot family.

We’ll start by going over the differences between the solid wrist design and hollow wrist design, the former of which is used by the LR Mate/25 and M-20iB family. This affects how cables and hoses are routed from the electrical and pneumatic connections on J3 to the end-of-arm-tooling (EoAT).

Next is a brief overview of the robot base connection styles, including back cable and bottom cable exits. We’ll then look at where cables and hoses are connected to on J3 arm and the cover that protects them.

After a walkthrough of the connections, we’ll demonstrate step-by-step how to route cables and hoses from the J3 connections, through the cover, and out to the EoAT. In addition, we’ll show how to use the optional user cable clamps to secure the cables to the side of J3 arm.

Finally, we’ll touch on waterproofing of the robot and some of the features that allow the robot to operate in an environment that requires IP67 protection.
