TRIFLEX R

TRIFLEX R is a product line of multiaxis cable and hose carriers designed for robotic applications, particularly articulated and collaborative robots. The system consists of modular links that form a flexible, torsion-resistant conduit to guide and protect cables and hoses through complex, multi-axis motion. TRIFLEX R is manufactured by igus, a German company known for motion plastics and energy chain systems. The TRIFLEX R series includes the TRE and TRC families, with various size indices to accommodate different cable diameters and load requirements. Key technical features include high torsion resistance, captive snap locks on mounting brackets, and compatibility with strain relief options. The carriers are available in different configurations, such as 2-channel designs, and can be ordered to specific lengths. Accessories include mounting brackets, disassembly tools, and clamps for securing the carrier to robot arms. 3G Electric supplies TRIFLEX R components globally, offering individual links, complete kits for specific robot models, and the necessary brackets and tools for installation and maintenance. The product range supports plant engineers and maintenance managers in setting up reliable cable management for robotic cells, reducing downtime and extending cable life. With a focus on modularity and ease of assembly, TRIFLEX R systems are used in applications ranging from collaborative robots to industrial articulated arms. 3G Electric provides access to the full line, including size indices 50, 60, and 70, and kits tailored for Universal Robots models such as UR3e, UR5e, UR16e, and UR20(e). The carriers are designed to withstand the torsional stresses of robotic movement, ensuring cables and hoses are protected without restricting the robot's range of motion. This makes TRIFLEX R suitable for tasks like pick-and-place, welding, and material handling where cable management is critical. 3G Electric's catalog includes the TRE series links, mounting brackets with or without strain relief, disassembly tools, and tennis racket-style clamps. Each component is specified with dimensions, compatibility, and features to aid selection. For procurement specialists, 3G Electric offers a centralized source for these components, with global shipping and support. The TRIFLEX R line is part of a broader ecosystem of cable carrier solutions, but this profile focuses on the multiaxis carriers and their accessories. By providing detailed product data and availability, 3G Electric helps technical buyers integrate TRIFLEX R into new or existing robotic systems. The emphasis is on functional design, with features like high torsion resistance and secure locking mechanisms that address the specific challenges of routing cables on moving robot arms. This approach aligns with the needs of maintenance and engineering teams looking for durable, serviceable cable management solutions.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TRIFLEX R from 3G Electric.

What is the TRIFLEX R TRE series used for?

The TRIFLEX R TRE series is a line of multiaxis cable and hose carriers designed for use on articulated and collaborative robots. These carriers guide and protect cables and hoses through complex, multi-axis motion, preventing wear and extending service life. The TRE series features high torsion resistance, allowing the carrier to twist and bend without damaging internal cables. It is commonly used in robotic applications such as pick-and-place, welding, and assembly, where cables must follow the robot's movements without restricting range of motion. The TRE series is available in various size indices and can be configured with different channel counts and mounting options.

What sizes of TRIFLEX R mounting brackets does 3G Electric offer?

3G Electric supplies TRIFLEX R mounting brackets for size indices 60 and 70, among others. For example, the bracket for Size Index 60 is designed for use with the TRIFLEX R TRE Series and features a captive snap lock, but does not offer strain relief. The bracket for Size Index 70 is compatible with the TRC Series and includes a captive snap lock, with strain relief available. These brackets secure the carrier to the robot or machine structure, ensuring stable operation. When selecting a bracket, consider the size index of your carrier and whether strain relief is required for your application.

Are TRIFLEX R kits available for Universal Robots models?

Yes, 3G Electric carries TRIFLEX R robot cable management kits specifically designed for Universal Robots models, including UR3e, UR5e, UR16e, and UR20(e). These kits include the necessary TRIFLEX R Series TRE cable and hose carrier, mounting brackets, and clamps. For example, the kit for UR5e is 4.6 ft long and includes the TRE carrier and part TL.40.01.Z2. The kit for UR16e is 4.9 ft and includes three cobot clamps with mounting brackets (non-strain relief). These kits simplify selection by providing a complete solution for cable management on specific cobot models.

What is the purpose of the TRIFLEX R disassembly tool?

The TRIFLEX R disassembly tool, such as model TRE.B (MPN MAT0051190), is designed to safely open multiaxis cable and hose carriers during maintenance or cable replacement. It is used with specific carrier sizes, like the TRE.50.B, and features a size index 50. The tool allows technicians to remove cables or hoses without damaging the carrier or the cables themselves. This is important for reducing downtime and maintaining the integrity of the cable management system. The tool is compatible with igus Triflex carriers and is a recommended accessory for any maintenance team working with TRIFLEX R systems.

How do TRIFLEX R carriers handle torsion in robotic applications?

TRIFLEX R carriers are engineered with high torsion resistance to withstand the twisting and bending motions typical of multi-axis robots. The links are designed to rotate relative to each other, allowing the carrier to follow the robot's movements without kinking or restricting motion. This torsion resistance protects internal cables and hoses from excessive strain, which can lead to premature failure. The carriers also feature a modular design that allows for custom lengths and configurations. By maintaining a controlled bend radius and preventing cable abrasion, TRIFLEX R carriers help ensure reliable operation and extend the life of cables in demanding robotic environments.
