IGUS E-chain triflex® R Series TRE.50.080.0.B

When working with Robots, cable chains are always an issue. Due to large motion range a robot can make, making proper cable guidance is essential. This type of cable chain from IGUS, is the best we have tested so far. It comes at a price, but then again, if you are making robotic milling solution, have a system failure, due to cables getting caught behind a fixture, then price is less critical. We have seen this system work in the field. It is a very heavy-duty solution that will work in most robotic milling applications. The chain has 2 gaps, to allow for easy access. Due to the gaps, it is easy to install/uninstall cables or hoses from the chain.

1. High tensile force absorption due to ball and socket joint
2. For multi-axis movements – twist of approx. ± 10° per chain link in the longitudinal axis
3. Easy opening mechanism for easy filling and replacement of pre-assembled cables or hoses
4. Easy to add and remove – one injection-moulded component
5. Small bend radii, small pitch
6. Easy integration and smart accessories for your machine

• If an easy use of E-chain is required
• If a secure energy supply is required for multi-axis movements
• If high torsion resistance is required
• If the system needs to be easy to lengthen and shorten
• If a small bend radius is required
• If high tensile strength absorption is important

• For circular movements with high load
• If a closed option is required
• When a less expensive, less sophisticated multi-axis solution is required
