ROBOTRAX PROTECTOR protects the cable carrier against premature wear, absorbs shocks and impacts and is easy to mount. The combination of PROTECTOR and PULL-BACK UNIT significantly increases the service life of the ROBOTRAX cable carriers again.
ROBOTRAX cable carriers from TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP are designed for three-dimensional swivel and turn movements on robots. With fast motion sequences and large work areas, cable carriers may touch the robot arm and therefore wear out faster. The PROTECTOR can prevent this effect, though: The impact protection is available for all ROBOTRAX sizes and can easily be mounted on each required chain link. It protects cable carrier and cables while also limiting the smallest bend radius. When the ROBOTRAX glides across the robot arm, the PROTECTOR protects the cable carrier against heavy abrasions and premature wear. This means that only the PROTECTOR has to be replaced eventually, rather than the entire cable carrier.
The service life of the ROBOTRAX cable carrier can be significantly increased if the protector is combined with the PULL-BACK UNIT. The active pull-back mechanism keeps the cable carrier under tension, preventing unwanted contact with the robot.
