Robotics & Automation

Ultra or high flex cables typically come in heavy-duty, oil-resistant, continuous flex, multi-conductor constructions. Being able to continuously flex, bending flex or even Torsional Flex requires incredibly reliable constructions, which are consistently tested between 2 and 14 million cycles, depending on the manufacturer. These incredibly flexible and durable cables are designed to withstand medium stress and movements in dry, moist and harsh conditions.

COVID-19 has created many challenges in the workplace, but nothing as bad as the overwhelmed medical industry. From an overload of patients to a lack of staff across the nation, COVID-19 has truly been a challenging time for everyone in the medical industry. To combat this major issue, medical robots of all different kinds have been implemented to support everything from simple tasks to surgery and even long-distance medical support. This blog will be going over the different types of medical robots, their applications, and the different wire and cable parts that can make the applications a reality.

In the manufacturing industry, there's often a large number of misconceptions around robotic purchases and the technology involved. For example, robotics used in the automotive manufacturing facilities are vastly different than the robotics within chemical manufacturing. This means different investments, different equipment, different ROI and different implementation strategies. There are significant contrasts in safety, programming, and capacity for anyone looking to increase overall manufacturing efficiency. This blog will be going over the main differences between the popular cobot and the industrial robotic manufacturing methods.

Robotic automation has been a hot topic for the Sycor team in the past because of its popularity and the overall effectiveness of the installations. With 2020 being one of the most unpredictable years to date and having the economy balancing on what feels like a terrifying high rope, robotic automation had seen a serious decline in demand compared to 2018 when The World Robotics recorded the highest number of new installations ever. In this breakdown, we'll be going over the automation industry's changes over the last few years, the "new" industry's normal and how the pandemic has drastically changed the future of automation.

Robotic automation is one of the more popular applications that we supply. This blog, we'll be covering some of the different types of automation applications and how they differ from one another. We'll also be covering the different types of cables that are used within these applications.
