1. Moves multi-dimensionally - Triflex R offers a high degree of flexibility, even on the 6th axis. It can twist up to ± 380° per yard on the longitudinal axis. This assists guiding the cables and lines around complex configurations.
2. High tensile strength - Triflex R is highly flexible due to the ball-and-socket style design, which enables movements on all axes. The force flux is routed optimally through Triflex R.
3. Easy to open - Triflex R is easy to install and maintenance of cables and hoses is quick and easy.
4. Excellent mechanical features - Triflex R is impact-resistant, dirt-repellant, rugged and abrasion-resistant.  It has been extensively tested in the lab for more than 190,000 extreme cycles.
5. Small bending radii and short pitch - Using Triflex R saves on installation space.
6. Easy installation and dismantling - An injection-molded component, Triflex R requires minimal effort for assembly and disassembly.No other components (e.g. steel cables, spring mechanisms, etc.) are required.
7. High stability - Exterior stop dogs ensure stability.
8. Self-supporting operation - Optional torsion fiber rods can be installed in guide channels.
9. Easy attachment - Mounting brackets make attaching Triflex R to the robot a snap and reduces set-up time. 
10. Smooth tubular design - The smooth exterior contour of Triflex R prevents it from catching on other machine elements and enables extremely difficult travel paths of the robot and it's energy supply.
11. Triflex R Light - An alternative, lightweight, robotic cable-carrier solution that lowers cost.
