Energy chains
Safe cable routing
Industrial robots have to work dynamically and quickly in production. Therefore, safe and compact guidance of cables and hoses is required. This is where the three-dimensional Triflex energy chains from Igus come into play.
These chains are specially designed for industrial robotics and adapt to the three-dimensional movements of the robots. If the e-chains form loops in the robot's working area, this can damage the cables and hoses and lead to machine failure. This is why Igus has developed the TR.RSEL low-cost retraction system. It guides the energy chain linearly on the robot and thus ensures trouble-free and fail-safe operation. Thanks to its standard dimensions and compact design, the retraction system can be mounted directly on the third axis of all common robot types. This means that all existing Triflex R series such as TRC, TRE and TRCF can be converted quickly and easily.
The fixed point of the energy chain can be freely selected thanks to the new system. Another advantage: by using the linear retraction system, the user saves additional cable length and the associated costs, as no deflection is required. triflex RSEL is available from Igus as a variant with two elastomer tapes in sizes 70 or 85. pb
