Harnessed dress-packs provide maximum cable protection for welding robots

igus offers fully assembled dress-packs for rapid replacement of energy chain systems on welding robots. A custom designed, drop-in replacement, these can be connected quickly and easily to the robot, thereby minimising production downtime.

These packs consist of a multi-axis triflex R energy chain, filled with chainflex cables and hoses for supplying energy, data and other media. The standard dress-packs can then be adapted to customers’ individual requirements: different bus systems can be selected, as well as preferred hose manufacturer and a wide range of cable cross sections.

Using QuickRobot, an easy-to-use online configurator, the right solution can be selected from over 2,000 options and ordered with just a few clicks by specifying the robot manufacturer and the model series. On request, igus supplies suitable retraction systems to guide the energy chains with constant tension to the end of the robot arm, and also offers the onsite installation. In addition, igus produces all components of the energy chain system from a single source and its reliability is backed by a 36-month guarantee.
