At this year's Automatica,
igus presents its innovations, which move robots reliably and extend their
service lives. The products on show range from 3D energy chains to retract
systems or specially developed cables for robot applications - igus presents
products that give customers the ability to configure optimised, low-cost
solutions for their applications. Using the appropriate tools from igus, these
can be configured quickly and easily.
igus is showcasing its
products for the robotics industry at Automatica in Munich . These include the triflex TRCF energy
chain designed specifically for multi-axis systems. This three-dimensional
chain consists of a completely enclosed system. The unique feature of this
robot chain is that it can be quickly opened and filled at the same time, with
the flip-open mechanism enabling chainlinks to be opened quickly and easily
with a screw driver. This approach allows even large filling diameters to be
inserted in record time, therefore triflex TRCF is suited for applications with
dirt and chip exposure. trfilex TRCF 85 is now available as a new version with
a nominal diameter of 85 millimetres and - as is customary for 3D robot chains
from igus - with defined minimum bending radii and torsion stop dogs. This guides
and protects hoses and cables reliably in the interior. A rugged stop dog
system also ensures high strength. trilex TRCF can be shortened and extended as
needed. Accessories, such as mounting brackets and protectors are also
available.

Compact triflex RSE retract
system
The compact triflex RSE
retract system is yet another novelty shown at Automatica 2014. At a total
weight of only 1.8 kilogrammes, an overall length of 44 millimetres, and a
maximum retract travel of 500 millimetres, the cost-effective module is ideally
suited for smaller robots. The system reliably guides the 3D energy chain,
while also preventing the formation of loops.
Complete cable product
range for 3D applications
The CFROBOT cables from
igus put the finishing touches on the construction kit principle for the
robotic industry. The cable product range for difficult robotic applications
ranges from hybrid and control cables to bus, data, and fibre-optic cables,
creating a comprehensive assortment optimised for use in 3D energy chains with
respect to the cable design. For cores, braided elements and shields are
constantly exposed to significantly changing stresses in torsion applications.
For this purpose, highly wear-resistant and halogen-free PUR or TPE jackets
protect the torsion-optimised braiding elements against potential damage. The
specialised designs guarantee that even fibre-optic cables work reliably in
torsion applications. This was proven in tests with 27 million torsion
movements. Deliveries are available starting at one metre without minimum order
quantity or cutting charges.
"QuickRobot"
supports quick online configuration
igus not only sells
products optimised for the robotics industry, but also provides online tools,
such as "QuickRobot", which is used to configure the entire equipment
for 79 robot types immediately. By indicating the robot manufacturer and the
type series, the complete matching equipment for up to a maximum of six axis is
displayed within seconds. Ranging from large welding robots to small handling
robots , this tool is capable of designing a wide range of applications.
