igus Triflex R robot accessory package

Monday, 20 December, 2010 | Supplied by: Treotham Automation Pty Ltd


The Triflex R robot accessory package from igus includes over 200 components to suit many applications from large welding to small palletising robots.

The Triflex R package is available in three designs. The first is a closed version to protect the cables in rough applications, such as welding spatters, chips, and dirt. The second is the ‘Easy’ version in which the cables are simply pressed into the chain by hand and the third is a ‘Light’ version.

The multidimensional, movable robot chain can have its length adjusted at any time. It can be either shortened or lengthened at any place. It achieves its high tensile strength using the ball-and-socket joint. This design ensures mobility in every direction. It is possible to turn about 10° per link in the chain, making it possible to guide the cables around difficult geometries.

In addition, there is a defined freedom of movement in all three dimensions. The bending radius is the same in every direction, which also reduces stress on the chain itself, as well as the cables and hoses.

igus also offers a Triflex RS set specially for robot applications with limited installation space. This version guides the energy chain parallel to the robot arm to save space. It can be mounted directly on all attachment points on the robot.

The Easy version allows the cables and hoses to be visible and accessible from the outside. This makes it possible to quickly replace individual cables or the entire hose/cable package if service is needed.
