Key Features and Advantages
Robust Construction for Industrial Environments: The ABB 3HAC7344-1 is built with a polyurethane sheath that withstands mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures, making it ideal for 24/7 operation in automotive paint shops, foundries, and assembly lines. Its shielding effectively blocks EMI/RFI interference, ensuring stable signal transmission even in high-noise environments.
High Flexibility and Durability: Engineered for dynamic robotic applications, the cable supports millions of bending cycles without performance degradation. This feature is critical for robots that require repetitive movements, such as pick-and-place operations or welding tasks, where cable failure could lead to costly downtime.
Precision Termination and Compatibility: The cable comes pre-terminated with ABB’s proprietary connectors, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with ABB robot controllers and manipulators. This design eliminates installation errors and reduces setup time, the 3HAC7344-1 seamlessly integrates with ABB’s robot programming software, enabling engineers to optimize cable routing for maximum efficiency.
Reliable Signal and Power Transmission: With oxygen-free copper conductors, the cable minimizes voltage drop and signal loss, supporting high-speed data transfer for real-time robot control. Its dual-purpose design (signal + power) streamlines cable management, reducing clutter in control cabinets and improving system reliability.
Application Areas
The ABB 3HAC7344-1 is optimized for industrial robotics applications across multiple sectors:
- Automotive Manufacturing: Used in body welding, painting, and assembly lines for robots like the ABB IRB 6700, ensuring precise movement and consistent performance in harsh production environments.
- Electronics Production: Supports delicate robotic operations in semiconductor manufacturing, PCB assembly, and component placement, where signal integrity is critical for process accuracy.
- Heavy Industry: Deployed in foundries and metalworking cells for robots performing casting, forging, and material handling, with the cable’s rugged design resisting high heat and abrasion.
- Food and Beverage: Meets hygienic standards for robotic packaging and sorting systems, with the PU sheath preventing contamination and simplifying cleaning.
- Aerospace: Used in precision robotic assembly of aircraft components, where reliable cable performance is non-negotiable for safety and quality control.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
Before installing the ABB 3HAC7344-1, verify the robot model and controller type to ensure compatibility (e.g., S4C+, IRC5). Route the cable along ABB’s recommended pathways to avoid sharp bends or mechanical stress, securing it with cable ties at regular intervals (max. 300 mm). Ensure all connectors are clean and free of debris before mating, and use anti-corrosion grease on connector pins for outdoor or humid environments.

Maintenance Recommendations:
Regularly inspect the cable for signs of wear, such as sheath cracking or exposed conductors, especially in high-flex areas. Clean the sheath with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove oil or debris, avoiding abrasive materials. Use ABB’s diagnostic tools to monitor cable performance (e.g., resistance checks) during scheduled maintenance. For systems operating in extreme conditions, replace the cable every 2–3 years to prevent unexpected failures. Always follow ABB’s guidelines for disconnecting and replacing the cable to maintain system warranty validity.
