KUKA 00-174-901 Teach Pendant Extension Cable for KRC4 - 10M

Technical Details & Specifications

Specifications

Industrial Applications

• Extending the reach of the KUKA Smartpad during robot teaching, programming, and manual jog operation.
• System commissioning, calibration, and first-time setup of KUKA KRC4 cells.
• Maintenance and troubleshooting where the pendant must be used away from the controller cabinet.
• Spare-part replacement of worn, kinked, or failed teach-pendant cables to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Production lines, welding, handling, assembly, and machining cells built on KUKA KRC4 platforms.

Design Purpose

The extension cable is the link that carries signal and power between the Smartpad and the KRC4 controller, so the operator can program and jog the robot from a safe or convenient distance. A stable, shielded connection keeps pendant communication real-time and accurate; the 10 m length lets the pendant move with the operator instead of being fixed at the cabinet. The cable is built for repeated flexing and daily handling in industrial environments.

Common Failure Modes

• Connector damage or bent pins from repeated plug and unplug or forced mating.
• Cable kinking, cuts, or jacket wear from sharp bends, dragging, or being crushed by equipment.
• Internal breaks or intermittent signal loss from repeated flexing at the cable ends.
• Shielding breakdown causing communication errors or erratic pendant response.

In general, faults appear as lost pendant communication, intermittent control, or no response from the Smartpad. Specific KUKA alarm codes tied to this cable are not officially documented for this model. Please contact us with the fault code displayed on your controller for accurate diagnosis.
