Abstract
Problems: To provide a cable unit that can save space for a work space, and a liquid material supply device and an application device including the cable unit. Solution: A cable unit 30 that detachably and electrically connects a discharge head 10 configured to discharge a liquid material with a relative-moving robot 20 configured to carry out relative movement between the discharge head 10 and a workpiece 25, the cable unit having a dispense controller 33 configured to control a discharge operation of the discharge head 10, and a liquid material supply device and an application device including the cable unit.
Claims17
A cable unit that detachably and electrically connects a discharge head configured to discharge a liquid material with a relative-moving robot configured to carry out relative movement between the discharge head and a workpiece, the cable unit comprising:
- a cable;
- a discharge-head side connector disposed at and connected to one longitudinally end of the cable, the discharge-head side connector being configured to be detachably and electrically connected directly to the discharge head configured to discharge the liquid material;
- a robot-side connector disposed at and connected to an opposite longitudinally end of the cable opposite to the one longitudinally end, the robot-side connector being configured to be detachably and electrically connected directly to the relative-moving robot configured to carry out relative movement between the discharge head and the workpiece;
- and
- a dispense controller configured to control a discharge operation of the discharge head,
- wherein the dispense controller is disposed to the discharge-head side connector or the robot-side connector.
