Triflex® R is designed for robotic applications requiring three-dimensional, multi-axis freedom of movement. Smooth contours and a tubular design ensure fluid mobility. The modular 'trailer-hitch' (ball and socket) design offers high tensile strength and flexibility without the need for steel cables.
Triflex R protects moving cables and hoses in robotic applications. It is ideal for robots performing both linear and radial movements in a confined space, such as in the automotive industry or any production plant. It is also ideal for use in welding applications due to its flame-retardant properties.
Triflex R is able to move multi-dimensionally on the x, y and z axes. It can twist up to 380 degrees per yard, enabling easy movement around complex configurations. The smooth, tubular design enables the cable carrier to glide over the exterior of the robot without catching or tilting.
Features include:
• Modular design with interchangeable links enabling fast, easy length adaptation;
• Mounting brackets also can be used at any point along the carrier as a support;
• Enclosed tube provides protection from dirt and spatter;
• Easy assembly, installation, maintenance and access to cables;
• Small bend radius—less than four and one-half inches—and short pitch for even the tightest installation;
• Uniform bending radius in every direction enhances service life of cables and hoses;
• High stability with exterior stop dogs;
• Torsion bars fitted into specific guide openings provide self-support; and
• Superior mechanical features, including impact resistance, contamination protection and abrasion resistance.
