The basic structure of ROBOTRAX® consists of plastic links. These have spherical snap-on connections on both sides. This allows the individual links to be snapped together to form a cable carrier.
Protectors ensure that the bending radius does not fall below the minimum in any direction. The links can be rotated in the radial direction (see table values). The cables can be separated in three chambers.

Fast movements of the robot arms generate high accelerations and therefore high tensile forces on the cable carrier.
To transfer these tensile forces, ROBOTRAX® has a hole at the center of each chain link through which the steel cable is pulled. This steel cable takes on the function of force transmission.
The steel cable is fixed with a clamping piece on both sides. ROBOTRAX® permits accelerations up to 10 g.
The clamping piece can be used to easily set the chain links to the desired tension and adjust them at any time.
Long service life of the cables and hoses: The forces are primarily transmitted by the cable carrier and not by cables and hoses.

The ROBOTRAX® is fixed and continued with quick-release brackets which are attached with two screws.
The quick-release brackets fit on any chain link of the respective size. This means the fixing points can be individually adjusted to the motion sequence.
Quick opening: Simply unlock, pull out and open the quick-release bracket.

Heat shield: The heat shield made from aluminum-coated textile fibers protects the ROBOTRAX® system and inserted cables against flying sparks, weld spatter and radiated heat.
Protective cover: The protective cover made from coated polyester protects against aggressive cutting fluids, hydraulic oils, fine dust and paint spatter.

Secure cable fixing, gentle on the cables.
Multi-layer cable fixing is also possible with double and triple LineFix® clamps. Several systems can be installed in sequence.

PBU: With fast movement sequences and large work envelopes, the relatively long carriers knock against the robot arm. The repeated impact significantly reduces the service life of the cable carrier and the cables within, and the entire system can fail. Downtimes cause high costs and problems in the manufacturing process – so they have to be avoided.
The PBU is available with a variety of different parameters. Please contact us.
Guide bracket: The guide bracket ensures a defined return into the PBU, with the ROBOTRAX® gliding through the bracket. This reliably prevents the cable carrier from knocking against the robot arm. Installation of the guide bracket is easy and quick. The bracket is easy to open and allows easy and fast cable laying. The guide bracket can be combined with the standard bracket and is available for all ROBOTRAX® sizes.
The service life of the cable carriers and cables is significantly reduced by impact during fast movement sequences and in large work envelopes. The Protector protects the cable carrier against hard impacts, excessive abrasion and premature wear, while also acting as a limitation for the smallest bending radius. Downtimes are minimized. Not the entire cable carrier has to be replaced, but only the Protector in some cases.
Please state when ordering.
One additional degree of freedom on the attachments points. When mounted on a turntable, the quick-release bracket can rotate as well, to offer increased flexibility during complex robot movements.
