Industrial robots are capable of high-performance three-dimensional movement. Energy supply systems protect cables and hoses during these highly dynamic movements — often in three-shift operation and lasting many years. However, appropriate protection is only guaranteed if all the components are matched to the respective robot model — a time-consuming and error-prone selection process. The igus robot equipment configurator enables finding the right system based on the triflex R igus energy chain.

With the igus robot equipment configuration tool, the user saves time and money during configuration. At www.igus.au/quickrobot the user selects the robot manufacturer, then decides on the type and model as well as the axes that they want to equip. The picture then shows visualisations of the robot and components of the energy supply system. The next step is the choice of a retraction system, which keeps the energy chain under tensile stress, to avoid looping and protect against damage. The user then configures the triflex R e-chain type and the size. Optionally, they can then add extra protectors and triflex R chain links. The configurator automatically creates a list of all the components of the energy supply system. Another click takes the user to the CAD models of the components and a PDF report of the configuration.
