Use cases
Use case: inspection and pipe robots
Hybrid cable for sewer robots:
control, actuators and video in a single cable
The bottleneck:
Sewers and tunnels are hostile environments: these narrow and damp spaces apply a constant strain on the equipment. Every additional cable is a risk factor where robots are moving, grippers are working, and cameras are transmitting high-resolution images to the command unit at the same time. Extra cables equal extra weight, extra friction, and a higher chance of getting stuck.
The all-in-one solution from Kabelwerke Villingen:
We hide this entire complex system in a single, heavy-duty hybrid cable that merges the power supply for the drive and the tools with latency-free image and data transmission.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Maximum freedom of movement: The single-cable solution prevents tangling and getting stuck in the pipe.
- Uninterrupted live images: Uncompromising shielding cleanly separates power and sensitive video signals.
- Extreme tensile and abrasion resistance: Designed for harsh, continuous underground use.
The result:
Smart inspection without driving blind while keeping cables untangled. Full control of vehicle and accessories with a crystal-clear view.
