igus® System triflex® R - motion control in all axis

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)

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

Test 3602: tensile force test
Tensile force test with TRE.100-145 in the igus® lab: 865 lbs. of tensile force

Welding robot
High accelerations and direction changes are typical for robot motions. The links stay together due to the igus® trailer mechanism.

Test 3418: breaking strength
Testing of the maximum breaking strength in the radius. Min. 49 lbs. load at the extreme radius stop dog, e.g. for a TRC-40-058

Palletizing robot
Smallest robot dimensions also call for the tightest motion control radii on cables. triflex® protects cables and hoses due to defined minimum bending radii

Test: Torsion
The igus® lab conducts torsion tests on triflex® R and cables, during which the triflex® R is twisted and "rolled up"

Welding robot
Tight twisting and torsion motions occur specifically on the robot head. In this case, the triflex® R limits the twisting of cables with the defined torsion stop, and distributes the twisting over a greater length. This increases the service life of hoses and cables.

Test: chip tightness
We use special chip drums to conduct tightness tests on many igus® E-Tubes. By using defined chips (quantity and type), we are able to make reliable statements for motion control applications.

Tile factory
Significant dust and dirt loads on a palletizing robot in a tile factory. triflex® R e-chains® not only need to be tight, but also resistant against abrasive dust.

Test 3242: Breaking load
We also test the durability of outside stop dogs in the igus® lab

Machine tools
In order to protect cables from pinching and to keep the interior space free of interference edges, bending radius stop dogs are located on the outside and must also be extremely rugged.

Assembly example
No cutting of steel ropes, springs, or the like. An injection moulded part, therefore extended and shortened "on demand".

Handling robot
As is the case on conventional igus® e-chains®, triflex® R e-chains® can be extended/shortened at "any" location

Test 3337: electrical resistance
Even after 500,000 cycles, the electrical resistance is still 70 MOhm on the Series TRC.40.058.0.ESD tested here.

Medical robot
A variety of requirements are the focus in many industrial applications. This ranges from ESD protection to cleanroom compatibility

Test: spin test
The impact-resistance of a triflex® R filled with cables is tested in spin tests

3D plasma cutter
In addition to igus® triflex® TRE, other e-chains® (E2/000, E4-1) and drylin® linear guides (drylin® W) are installed in this plasma cutter.

Test: Tensile test
