Triflex® R (R for "round") is the third generation 3-axis energy chains from igus®. The multi-axis energy supply system Triflex® R has been specially developed for the sophisticated 6-axis robotic applications in harsh industrial environments. Some of the important design features are: Fiber rod option for the partial reinforcement of the Triflex® R, approximately +/- 10° Torsion per chain link, high tensile strength through ball-and-socket joint. More than 100 components have been made available meanwhile in the Triflex® R product range, so that all requirements can be covered from large welding robots up to the small pallet robots. Triflex® R has received the iF design award.
TRC = closed - Closed version for protection of the cables against dirt and chips
Simplest installation and dismantling through the ball-and-socket system
Very simple filling - Just push in cable - Easy system
Interesting applications from a variety of industrial sectors
