Chainflex CF Robot Torsion-Resistant Cable Series

Description

A shielded robot cable for applications involving high levels of torsion, the Chainflex CF Robot cable series is designed for both robotic and non-robotic applications, such as rotary tables or spindle drives that have to be supplied with high power levels. In contrast to conventional braided copper shields, which are counter-wound, a torsion-resistant tin-plated copper shield sheath is used with CF Robot. The forces affected on the cable by any torsional movement are largely absorbed by sliding and buffer elements between the sheath, shield, and insulation. This prevents early failure of the shield. The outer sheath material is a high-grade TPE mixture with particularly good wear properties.

 

The twistable cable has already been tested in the igus technical center through more than three million torsional movements to +/- 270-deg. CF Robot is an ideal companion to igus’ Triflex R cable carrier, which is designed to protect moving cables and hoses on 6-axis robots used in demanding industrial environments. Triflex R is able to move through all axes and can twist up to 380 degrees per yard, enabling easy movement through complex configurations. The smooth, tubular design also permits the cable carrier to glide around the exterior of a robot without catching.
