Solution
After the product presentation and a test setup, LSW decided to replace the usual system with the
triflex R energy supply systems. They are currently proving their worth with all eleven robots.
There are a number of technical reasons in favour of the multi-dimensionally moving energy supply system specifically for robotic applications. It offers high flexibility and cable protection for complex movements even in the 6th axis. A twist of up to approx. +/- 380° per metre in the longitudinal axis is possible and limited by a clear stop-dog. This supports guidance of the cables around difficult geometries and extends the service life through defined minimum bend radii. The trailer principle ("ball and socket" connection, similar to the trailer coupling on a car) enables high tensile force absorption, which means smooth movements in all axes with a tested tensile force of up to 2 340 N.
The energy supply system is impact-resistant, dirt-repellent, robust, abrasion-resistant and swarf-resistant. Small bend radii and the small pitch ensure space-saving installation. Assembly and disassembly are simple. Thanks to its modular design, the triflex can be easily shortened or extended. External stop-dogs ensure high strength.
A universal assembly kit allows the energy supply system to be individually adapted to any movement sequence. When ordering, you don't need to know much about the movement sequence; the actual adjustment takes place during installation.
