Robot-ready cable carrier

By Karen Auguston Field, Chief Editor -- Design News, October 21, 2002


Robotrax carrier accommodates swiveling and rotating (90 degrees per 1m length) movement. Turnkey solutions, including carrier system, cables and hoses, plus connectors, simplify robot installation.

Three compartments, positioned radially about a steel rope core, form the flexible carrier system "Robotrax." Completely harnessed cables and hoses press into the partitioning carrier compartments and can be easily inspected or individually replaced whenever necessary. Designed for robotic equipment and good for 3- to 18-mm cable diameters, the carrier system offers quick assembly, high tensile strength, high flexibility, and low space requirements.
