Robot mounting kit

The robot mounting kit is a camera cable specially designed for robot-mounted cameras, such that:

It is long enough to be mounted in large industrial robots.
The segment that can be routed through the robot can resist the bending and torsional loads typical of robot motions.
It is compliant with the Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) - IEC/EN61000-4-4 immunity standard.

Note

Earlier Pickit versions used to ship with the legacy 20 meter cable. Please get in touch with the Pickit sales team if you would like to upgrade to a robot-mounting kit.

Components

The robot mounting kit consists of:

Processor cable: A 10-meter cable that connects the Pickit processor to the repeater box. It has a type A USB connector on the processor end, and an 8 pin M12 screwing connector on the repeater box end.
Camera cable: 2 x 10-meter cable that connects the repeater box to the camera. It has 8 pin M12 screwing connectors on both ends. One cable is provided as a spare, as this part of the cabling is more exposed to eventual damages that could be caused by the robot movements.
A repeater box that connects the camera cable and the processor cable.
