Guidelines for mounting camera cables

1. Camera connector mounting specifications

  1. When mounting the camera, consider the installation and disassembly of the protruding connectors. The following requirements should be met: H ≥ 70 mm; L ≥ 65 mm, as shown in the diagram below:

  2. For Nano cameras, of which connectors are side-mounted, the routing should also conform to the distances indicated by L and H, as depicted in the diagram below:

  3. When mounting the camera using the EIH method, where there are multiple robot end cables, ensure that external forces do not affect the camera connectors.

  4. On the actual operation site, brackets can be used to secure the cables, as shown in the diagram below:

2. Cable routing technical specifications

  1. During the cable routing process, ensure that the camera cables are not tightly pulled and have an appropriate amount of slack. The cables should be straight, neat, and free from any crossing or entanglement. Securely fasten the cables at the bends with an appropriate level of tightness.

  2. When connecting and routing the cables, pay attention to sharp angles or edges on various workpieces and components. To prevent scratching, route the cables away from these areas.

  3. If the cable needs to change direction during routing, it is recommended to use larger bending radii and leave sufficient slack, as shown in the diagram below. This prevents excessive bending of the cables, which can affect their quality and functionality. It is advisable to use a bending radius (R) that is at least 7.5 times the outer diameter of the cable.

  4. When fixing cables, avoid excessive bending, as shown in the diagram on the right. Refer to the diagram on the left for guidance on fixing cables with bends.

3. Requirements for routing in electrical conduit or cable carriers

  1. Note: Do not fix cables inside the cable carriers or electrical conduits, as this would hinder proper dispersion, flexibility, and movement of the cables. Cables inside cable carriers or electrical conduits should be fixed at the entrance, and friction between cables should be avoided. See the image below:

  2. Generally, ensure that at least 3-4 sections of the cable carrier remain fixed relative to the camera.

  3. When routing cables inside the cable carrier, avoid subjecting them to additional tension. The cables should not be pulled overly tight (as shown in the left diagram below) or excessively loose (as shown in the right diagram below). Otherwise, friction inside the cable carrier may damage the insulation layer of the cables.

  4. When routing cables inside corrugated conduits, it is important to ensure that the cables are not tangled or intertwined with each other.
