How to Select the Right Conduit System for Industrial Automation Applications

The article stresses that choosing the right conduit system is essential for reliable industrial automation (robots, CNC, motion control), since conduits must protect cables and hoses from vibration, abrasion, chemicals, washdowns, UV exposure, and temperature extremes while maintaining flexibility and long-term durability. Matching conduit type and design to these environmental stresses is key to uptime and service life.

What environmental or mechanical stress most dictates your conduit choice (e.g., washdown chemicals, continuous flex, heat), and which solutions have worked best for you?
