7. Notes on using cable bearers The supplied cables are not robot cables. Accordingly, never store the cables in a cable bearer. Always use a robot cable for each relay cable. Bending radius (r) Use a cable bearer with a bending radius (r) of 50 mm or greater. Do not let the cable get tangled or kinked in a cable bearer or flexible tube. When bundling the cable, keep a certain degree of flexibility (so that the cable will not become to
