Reliable system suits robotic assembly

As robot systems are becoming more and more advanced, innovative plastic components are constantly being developed to reduce costs and increase service life.
One such system from plastics expert is the triflex Retraction System Pneumatic (RSP) for multi-axis robots, which is an adjustable retraction cable management solution that offers safe and consistent cable and hose guidance. This is ensured by the constant application of a retraction force of a pneumatic cylinder, with retraction lengths of around 500mm.
Thanks to these features, the system is ideal for a wide range of assembly applications and can be quickly and easily adapted to a variety of robot models, including small welding robots and larger palletising robots allowing heavy fill weights and complex movements.
The triflex RSP does not require expensive monitoring systems and in addition, it can accommodate higher cable and hose fill weights than similar systems available on the market and offers a variety of mounting solutions for various robot manufacturers and types.
As with all igus products, the system has undergone vigorous laboratory tests to ensure it can withstand the demands of tough environmental conditions. To watch a short video on how igus parts are used within robots, click the link below.
