PMA® FLEXIBLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

<p>ABB's PMA cable protection system for robotics and automation is purpose-built to safeguard cables and wires in the most demanding motion-intensive installations, combining multilayer conduits, tube clamps, ball joints and abrasion protection sleeves to minimize torsion forces and extend service life across the full range of robotic axes and cobot application.</p>

Durable

<p>Multilayer conduit construction delivers up to two times longer service life compared to some alternative conduit options, with high tear propagation resistance preventing abrupt conduit failure</p>

Flexible

<p>Highly flexible conduit designs accommodate continuous bending, tight bending radii and multi-axial movements in robotic arm and dynamic automation installations</p>

Reduce dowtime

<p>Built-in wear indication function on XTPC and XR90 multilayer conduits signals approaching service limits, allowing maintenance to be planned without unscheduled production stoppages</p>

Vibration-resistant

<p>Ball joint sleeves, tube clamps and abrasion protection sleeves work together to minimise torsion forces and reduce mechanical stress on cables along the entire length of moving elements</p>

Safe

<p>ESD conduit option prevents electrostatic charging in applications where uncontrolled discharge must be avoided, such as painting cells and other sensitive automation environments</p>

Easy installation

<p>CobotProtect CobotKit is pre-engineered as a complete dress pack solution including XTPC multilayer conduit, BCCH conduit holder and BCSR strain relief ring, compatible with most widely used cobot brands</p>

Custom solutions

<p>BKS cable stars are designed-to-order for tailored strain relief and cable arrangement inside conduit assemblies; accessories can be freely combined to match specific robot and automation layouts</p>

Comprehensive

<p>Complete system includes multilayer conduits XTPC and XR90, single-layer conduits PIS/PIH, ESD and PUE, PMAFIX Pro fittings and a full range of tube clamps, ball joints, abrasion sleeves and cobot accessories</p>

Environmentally responsible

<p>Halogen-free and cadmium-free construction with full RoHS and REACH compliance across conduits, fittings and accessories</p>

Compliant

<p>Certifications include UL Recognised conduit options per UL1696, EN 45545-2 rail approvals for applicable conduit types, ISO 9409-1:2004 for CobotClamp, RoHS and REACH compliant</p>
