The global growth in automation for industrial production is leading to increasingly complex applications,
particularly when using industrial robots. Even with greater integration
and new production processes, target cycle times have to be kept as short as possible
and downtime reduced as much as possible. To provide reliable protection against premature system failure and
downtime, we recommend the use of a triflex® R e-chain®, especially to bridge
axes 3-6. The dynamic change in length that results from the robot's
movement is compensated by the triflex® R retraction systems. Constantly
guiding the igus® e-chain® package in a defined manner to prevent the formation of
loops in the robot's working area.
