KUKA Reels Design Information

Because KUKA makes an integrated teach pendant with cable we usually sell our reels as Pigtail Only—15ft/5M cable to the controller cabinet, or any length the customer may want. The customer uses their tp cable/pendant with our reels. They plug their tp cable into the mating connector in the center of the reel.

The mating connector in the center of the spool is connected to one side of the slip ring inside, while the pigtail cable is wired to the other side of the slip ring. When the customer plugs their tp cable into the reel’s center connector, the circuit is now complete.

If the customer has a defective tp cable they can unplug it from the center connector in the reel and plug a new tp cable in 5 minutes.

The customer does have the option of adding any length of teach pendant extension cable to any of our Kuka reels in order to have a shorter length cable when combined with their teach pendant cable.
