triflex® R "light" - 3 axis chain for robotic and non-robotic applications
Lightweight design - easy to install, modular, low-priced and long-life
1... „easy“ lock
Lightning-fast filling of cables and hoses due to the "easy" mechanism
… filled quickly, easy, low-priced
Details of working principle
"easy" opening mechanism
Cables and hoses can simply be pressed into the chain using your thumb. This cuts assembly time by up to 80%.
igus® tested
Reduce assembly times and cut time by 80%
Assembly time: Insertion of 2 cables Ø 6 and 10 mm (we will gladly provide you with details about these and many other tests)
Application example
CNC multi-spindle lathe
A host of triflex® R e-chains® on a CNC multi-spindle lathe. Fast cable assembly due to the "easy" mechanism
2... High tensile force absorption due to the trailer mechanism
… Due to the special trailer mechanism, the triflex® R can absorb high tensile forces - similarly to the trailer coupling
Details of working principle
Trailer principle
Due to the special trailer mechanism, the triflex® R can absorb high tensile forces.
igus® tested
Test 3602: tensile force test
Tensile force test with TRE.100.145 in the igus® lab: 3846 N of tensile force
Application example
Welding robot
High accelerations and direction changes are typical for robot motions. The links stay together due to the igus® trailer mechanism.
