Hi all,
I have an m710iC robot with only the EE cable that runs through the arm. The 8 RI/RO are not enough for my tool. I know there are robots with an ap1 and as1 cable through the robot.
Is it possible to put an extra cable in the arm? From the base to axis 4 (next to EE plug)
Thx

Yes, it is probably possible, but FANUC will not honor your warranty if you change the internal cableset without approval. You're probably better off running the cable externally.

I did this once on a S-500 robot, and there was in some places not enough room for an extra cable.
So I changed the original cable with another with more leads (36 x 0.34) witch is only a litlle bit bigger, and that worked (and still works) fine.Be sure to buy a good quality cable, and keep the routing of the cables and hoses exactly the same as it was !

I have seen M710ic robots with AS1 and AP1 cable, I've opened the side plates and it seems to have enough space left to put some extra cables.
I have contacted Fanuc about this I will see what they have to say and post it here. -
Why not use the existing passthru between 24-pin ASi connectors?

What do you mean with existing passtrough? I only have the EE cable in the robot arm.
