Triflex® and Easy Triflex® E-Chain® for 3D motions

The Triflex® series has been developed to safely guide cable during a 3D movement. In this case, the flexibility of a hose is combined with the stability of an E-Chain® with a fixed, defined radius. This unique modular design enables very complex movements. Combination of chain links moving in single, double and triple axes are possible in an E-Chain®.

Typical industrial sectors and applications:

Machine tools, robots, handling equipment, materials handling technology, plastics industry, construction machinery, vehicle manufacturing, general mechanical engineering, medical equipment, office furniture

Reduction of installation and conversion times

The Triflex® R Easy is very easy to fill and has thereby decisive mounting benefits compared to the cable protective tubes used on robots.

Reduction of installation and conversion times    

Painting robot for car door seals

The robot with the replaced energy supply system has already painted about 1.2 million seals - and that too without a single failure.

Automotive industry

Multidimensionally moveable energy supply systems provide the highest flexibility and the longest holding times in all complex movements, and at the same time are installation friendly.

Automotive industry    

Clean room technology

The number of freely hanging cables should be bundled together. The specific movements executed by the robot stress the energy cables to a high degree.

Clean room technology    

Glass production

Higher variability at lower costs - Multidimensional energy supply systems raise the performance of robots.
