Proterra Power's Flexible Spiral Cable Revolutionizes Robotics & Automation – A Game Changer for Industries Demanding Reliability & Space Savings

BURLINGAME, CA – October 26, 2023 – Proterra Powered LLC, a California-based innovator in power solutions and flexible cabling, is making waves in the robotics, automation, and motion control industries with its groundbreaking flexible spiral cable. Located at 1815 Rollins Rd, Burlingame, CA, 94010-2204, and reachable at 254-542-8622, Proterra Power isn’t just another cable company – they’re focused on solving the real-world headaches engineers and system integrators face. For years, industries reliant on moving machinery – think robotics arms in factories, camera systems in medical devices, or even the internal wiring of 3D printers – have struggled with cable management. Traditional cables are bulky, prone to damage from constant bending, and quickly become a nightmare to maintain. They crack, fray, and eventually lead to system downtime and costly repairs. Proterra Power is stepping in to fix that. “We saw a real gap in the market,” explains a Proterra Power spokesperson. “Companies were using workarounds – oversized cable carriers, complex routing – just to keep their cables from failing. That added cost, weight, and complexity. We thought, ‘There has to be a better way.’ And that’s what led us to develop this flexible spiral cable.” What Makes Proterra Power's Cable Different? It’s all about the design. Unlike traditional shielded or unshielded cables wrapped in jackets, Proterra Power’s flexible spiral cable utilizes a unique construction. Instead of layers, the cable is formed by tightly wound, spiraling conductors, surrounded by a highly durable, flexible outer jacket. This isn't just a minor tweak; it’s a fundamentally different approach. “Think of it like a slinky,” the spokesperson explains. “The spiraling design allows for incredible flexibility in all directions – bending, twisting, even stretching. It can withstand millions of cycles without showing signs of wear and tear.” This construction delivers several key benefits: Unmatched Flexibility: The cable can bend and twist at tight radii, perfect for applications with limited space or complex motion profiles. This eliminates the need for bulky cable carriers and simplifies system design. Superior Durability: The spiral design inherently protects the conductors from stress and fatigue. The outer jacket is made from a specially formulated material that’s resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. This translates to longer cable life and reduced maintenance costs. Reduced Weight & Space: Compared to traditional cable solutions, Proterra Power's flexible spiral cable is significantly lighter and more compact. This is crucial for applications where weight and size are critical, such as robotics and aerospace. Enhanced Signal Integrity: The unique construction minimizes signal interference and ensures reliable data transmission, even in demanding environments. Simplified Installation: The cable is easy to install and route, saving time and labor costs. It’s also available in a variety of lengths and configurations to meet specific application requirements. Who's Benefitting from This Technology? The applications for Proterra Power’s flexible spiral cable are incredibly diverse. Early adopters are already seeing significant benefits in a range of industries: Robotics: From industrial robots to collaborative robots (cobots), the cable is providing a reliable and space-saving solution for powering and controlling robotic arms, end effectors, and other moving components. This allows for more agile and efficient robotic systems. Medical Devices: In medical robotics and imaging equipment, the cable's flexibility and durability are critical for ensuring precise and reliable operation. It's being used in everything from surgical robots to minimally invasive imaging probes. Automation: In automated manufacturing lines and assembly systems, the cable is improving the reliability and uptime of moving machinery. This translates to increased productivity and reduced downtime. 3D Printing: The cable is providing a reliable solution for powering and controlling the print head and other moving components of 3D printers. This improves print quality and reduces the risk of print failures. Aerospace: The cable’s lightweight and durable construction make it ideal for use in aerospace applications, such as drone control systems and satellite communication systems. Camera Systems: PTZ cameras, drones, and gimbals all benefit from the cable's ability to withstand constant movement without failure.
