A test number without its scope is not a specification.
A sample-level test result can be useful. Only when its diameter, method and report travel with it.
What five million cycles actually means
The public test record for the corrugated-tube sample reports a five-million-cycle bending/torsion test on a specified sample diameter, under the conditions in report ADTK20240624008F.
It is a sample-level result, not a whole-assembly lifetime claim. The cable bundle, brackets, connectors, installation and actual motion still determine the service life of the complete route.
When someone repeats the number, ask for the sample diameter, test mode, report number and date. A number without those conditions is marketing, not evidence.
The short version.
- Five million cycles is sample-level.
- Report ADTK20240624008F is the source.
- It does not prove whole-assembly life.
- Project validation still matters.
Before this becomes a project.
Can I use this as the lifetime of my dresspack?
No. It describes a specific sample test, not the life of a complete installation. The actual bundle, anchors and motion must be evaluated.
Where is the report?
The public report is linked from the resources page. Use the PDF as the controlled source for its scope.
Keep asking questions.
Start with the spatter path
A spot-welding route starts with where sparks land, how the gun changes and who has to inspect the result.
Six series, six boundaries
Fixed mount, rotary, spring, barrel, telescopic and body-following answers are not interchangeable tiers.
Bring the robot, the tool and the motion.
We will turn the note into the questions that actually block your drawing.
