E-ChainSystem®

Triflex® R 3D E-Chain® specially made for robotic applications
Triflex® R (R for "round") is the third generation 3-axis energy chains from igus®. The multi-axis energy supply system Triflex® R has been specially developed for the sophisticated 6-axis robotic applications in harsh industrial environments. Some of the important design features are: Fiber rod option for the partial reinforcement of the Triflex® R, approximately +/- 10° Torsion per chain link, high tensile strength through ball-and-socket joint. More than 100 components have been made available meanwhile in the Triflex® R product range, so that all requirements can be covered from large welding robots up to the small pallet robots. Triflex® R has received the iF design award.

Easy Triflex® for 2D and 3D movements, fillable from both sides
The Triflex® series has been developed to safely guide cables during a 3D movement. In this case, the flexibility of a hose is combined with the stability of an E-Chain® with a fixed, defined radius. With Easy Triflex®, the installation of cables and tubes is child's play. The cables can be inserted in the E-Chain® from top or bottom through the flexible tongues This unique modular design enables very complex movements. As example: Combination of chain links moving in single, double and triple axes in an E-Chain®.
