Accessories TRC and TRE: Fiber rod assemblies

Fiber rod assemblies (only for TRC/TRE) - Intelligent problem solution through directed pretension

Fiber rod module with TR.70.80 marked as example is TRC.F.70.1400.1.0 with TR.70.80

In some applications, a high degree of flexibility is not required. Fiber rods can be used to mount triflex® R in a fixed position to reduce torsion or create pre-tension through specific parts of the cable carrier to keep it out of work zones. Comes delivered as a pre-assembled unit:

Full or partial mounting possible
Selective pretension possible
Will not catch on the exterior of the robot and provides smooth movement of the Triflex R in extreme applications
Automatic repositioning of triflex® R in its initial position

Accessories TRC and TRE: Universal installation kit

Universal installation kit - np special hardware needed

The universal installation kit was designed to attach triflex® R to any robot without any special hardware. The kit includes:

One 90° stainless steel pipe
Two mounting brackets with elongated holes to attach the pipe to the robot
One double-layered, adjustable attachment with three triflex® R mounting brackets to secure the cable carrier to the kit
Allows for attachment of fiber rod assemblies in any given position, relative to the robotic arm
Avoids interfering contours and excess cable loops
Holds triflex® R close to the robotic arm
Quick and easy positioning adjustments
Customized attachments available

Universal assembly kit for fiber rod module

The fiber rod modules can be fixed in any desired position on the robotic arm with the universal assembly kit
