Abstract: As application fields of manipulator continue to become more specific, industry's demand for cables used in manipulator has become more complex and stringent. In order to meet different needs of cables for manipulator in various application scenarios, an ultra-flexible control cable for manipulator was introduced, and development method from the perspectives of structural design, material selection and manufacturing technology was elucidated. Currently, the trial sample has passed testing and actual application, which can meet various needs such as flexibility, bending resistance, torsion resistance, and resistance to high and low temperatures, with a broad application prospect.
