Today, it is not only electrical and pneumatic cables that are routed on production robots but increasingly also bolts, rivets, and nails. Since tight bending radii of the Energy Chain can lead to complications with these supplies, the new Triflex RSE relies on a very simple and linear retraction without arches and spring rods or guide rollers. In the Triflex RSE, the E-Chain is guided via a linear rail and held in tension with elastic cables. Different cables are used depending on the required retraction force varying according to the size of the system.

The CFRIP stripping system for cables in Energy Chains consists of a tear-resistant thread inside the cable for fast jacket stripping. Like a zip fastener, the cable is stripped to the desired length so that cores can be easily removed from the jacket. This can save installers up to 50% time which otherwise would have been lost while stripping cables. Also, no special tools are required. In moving applications in E-Chains, the thread will not get detached accidentally, nor will it cause damage to the cores. The igus CFRIP range is comprised of 547 cables.

With the e-bone cable guide, the problem of fastening the headphone cable in knots during transport as well as in use is a thing of the past. The whole expertise of the plastic expert igus has been incorporated into the material of the e-bone. The cable guide is on the one hand light and elastic and on the other very rugged and stable. These characteristics and its flat and round design ensure a comfortable fit. An unintentional detachment of the cable from the guide is avoided by a simple fastening of both ends.
