■ For three-dimensional movements 

■ Can be deployed on robots for swiveling 

and rotational movements: 

The same system for robot feet and arms 

■ With channel system, it is a universal 

solution for rotary applications 

■ Also ideally suited for rotary tables 

■ Optimum system for long service life of 

the cables: 

– The minimum bend radius can be 

maintained 

– The cables are cleanly isolated in three 

separate chambers 

Steel cable for 

transmission of extremely 

large tensile forces 

Open design 

– Fast cable laying by 

simple pressing 

in of the cables – 

no threading through 

is necessary 

– Simple inspection of all

Impact protection 

When a robot is moving, a striking of the ROBOTRAX 

against machine components often cannot be 

avoided. 

An impact protective device made of elastomer 

plastic can easily be attached to each link using 

a cable tie.

Heat shield/Protective sleeve 

Heat shield: The heat shield, made of aluminiumcoated 

textile fiber, protects the cable carrier and 

the cables within from flying sparks. A heat shield 

is recommended where there are flying sparks. 

Protective sleeve: The protective sleeve made of 

layered polyester offers protection against aggressive 

cutting and hydraulic oils as well as from fine dusts 

and paint sprays (not illustrated). 

Chucking device 

This can be used to set the steel wire to the desired 

tension quickly and easily, and can be readjusted at 

any time.

Strain relief 

For securing the cables and hoses. 

(A strain relief device cannot be used on the same 

end of the ROBOTRAX as a chucking device.)

For secure and gentle cable fixing. 

Multilayer strain relief with double and triple clamps

Active pull back mechanism 

Rapid, repetitive movements of relatively long cable 

carrier systems in large operating envelopes, constantly 

hitting the robot arm, are to blame for reducing 

the service life of the carrier and installed cables. 

This can lead to a failure of the overall robotic system 

with expensive downtime and production outages – 

system failure must be prevented.

Guidance holder 

■ System failure due to cable carrier striking the 

robot is avoided 

■ Cable carrier glides back and forth through 

holding device 

■ Easy and time saving assembly and disassembly 

■ Carrier can be quickly and easily opened or closed 

for fast cable installation 

■ Can be used in combination with standard holder 

■ Available for all ROBOTRAX sizes

Quick-opening bracket mounted 

on a rotary plate 

Yet one more degree of freedom on the fastening 

points. The quick-opening mounting bracket can 

also rotate on a rotary plate, thus providing greater 

flexibility when the robot is performing complex 

movements.

Quick-opening bracket on a helical spring 

If the bracket is mounted on a helical spring, it can 

give elastically in all directions, swivel, swing out in 

3 dimensions and spring back ito place again.
