neutral  Tony M: 'deadworks' could only apply in the nautical context, and I don't even think 'fittings' would make much sense in the context as given.

  -> Yes that is what I suggested above Tony. Fittings makes as much sense as accastillage in French!

feed lines


Explanation:
Rather more specific, but I don't know what else this could be. Feed lines could include paint lines, compressed air lines, paint-line rinsing lines (all things I came across while researching this, though I'm not sure rinsing lines would need to be carried by the robot).

There are some ghits out there for feed lines on painting robots.
