Supplying energy to assembly systems

A recently launched video demonstrates how a multi-axis energy supply system can be easily installed into complex robot applications and assembly systems, often found in harsh industrial environments.

The triflex R energy chain features a high tensile strength ball and socket joint, offering high force absorption. The energy chain also has a fibre rod and other retraction options for the partial reinforcement of the system.

Manufacturer igus claims that the rugged design of the multi-axis energy chain offers OEMs and system integrators long service life, as well as a reliable and easy-to-assemble product. With over 100 components available from the range, requirements can be covered across a variety of industries including machine tools, handling equipment and general mechanical engineering, as well as from small pallet robots to large welding robots.
