KUKA 00-174-902 smartPAD Extension Cable 25m for KRC4

KUKA 00-174-902 — smartPAD Extension Cable 25m for KRC4 Controllers

The KUKA 00-174-902 is the smartPAD extension bus cable (KUKA designation "Cable 25m BUS-smartPAD EXT"). It is the 25 m extension that lengthens the shielded link between the smartPAD (KCP4) teach pendant and the KUKA KRC4 controller, so the pendant can reach further across the cell without moving the control cabinet.

Specifications

Industrial Applications

• Extends the smartPAD (KCP4) teach pendant link to the KRC4 control cabinet on welding, handling, palletizing and general automation cells.
• Adds pendant reach across larger cells where the standard cable is too short.
• Used during commissioning, changeover and fault-finding where the pendant must reach the work envelope.
• Suitable for robot motion cycles where the cable is flexed repeatedly between pendant and cabinet.

Design Purpose

The smartPAD extension bus cable lengthens the only physical link that carries operator input and robot status between the smartPAD (KCP4) and the KRC4 control cabinet. A sound, well-shielded extension keeps teaching, jogging and program editing live at longer distances without dropouts. When the original cable is too short or damaged, this replacement restores that link on the same controller generation, without changing the pendant or the control cabinet.

Common Failure Modes

• Intermittent or lost pendant communication at the extended length, causing the smartPAD to drop out during operation.
• Damaged outer sheath from repeated flexing, crushing or contact with sharp edges.
• Bent or cracked connectors at the pendant or controller end, preventing a stable fit.
• Broken shielding, introducing signal noise and erratic pendant response.
• Internal conductor break after years of service in a moving cable run.
• Verify by part number 00-174-902 and the controller type — send us the cable label or robot nameplate and we confirm the correct length and connector before you order.
