Cobots continue to be a major trend in production and are also increasingly being used by small and medium-sized companies. This is because the automation of sub-processes ensures that companies can remain competitive on the market. The collaborative robots work hand in hand with humans. Sensors and cameras as well as an energy management system ensure the safety of the process. Igus offers the three-dimensional "triflex R" e-chain series so that cables and hoses can be guided reliably and compactly on cobots. Users can use the Lean Robotics clamps to securely fasten the energy chain or protective hose to the robot. The universal brackets with Velcro tape are flexible in shape and therefore adapt to any robot arm. A slim design with rounded edges increases work safety by reducing the risk of injury on contact with the robot.

The Lean Robotics mount can be attached directly to the robot in two simple steps: simply place the Velcro strap around the robot arm and secure it. "Thanks to the Velcro strap, users can use the new holders on any robot of their choice without tools. Thanks to the flexible plastic, they can also be mounted on a different cobot at any time," explains Matthias Meyer, Head of Industry Management Robotics at Igus. "As we manufacture the clamps using injection molding, they are particularly cost-effective."

Free choice for safe cable routing

The Lean Robotics holder will be available in three versions: The standard variant has two infinitely adjustable Velcro straps in a universal size as well as a rubber coating on the inside so that the straps are fixed to the arm without slipping. This version is also available with a connection element with and without strain relief.

For additional protection, a third version of the bracket can also be fitted with a protector. The brackets are suitable for use on the triflex R series TRC/TRE/TRL 30, 40 and 50 as well as for all commercially available protective conduits with different diameters.
