Coping with cables on multi-axis robots

In this video, igus demonstrates how to set up the triflex RSP (retraction system pneumatic) on a six-axis robot. Part of the triflex series, the RSP is an intelligent retraction system for multi-axial robotic applications.

The RSP system offers consistent pullback forces on the triflex R robot energy chain; it is adjustable and can be attached to various multi-axis robotic arms. Triflex RSP is also available with optional monitoring system for robots that have programme sequences that are changed frequently, alternate, or are not 100% predictable.

While the triflex RSP is well suited to applications that include heavy fill weights, such as welding robots, its unique modular design enables complex movements, and is therefore suitable across a wide range of industries and applications including flip over, handling equipment, plastics and vehicle manufacturing.
