Spring rods | flexible, resilient on the robot

triflex® R fibre-rod module

Two fibre-rods within the e-chain® enable the springy movement

Spring rod modules (only for TRC/TRE.B) - Intelligent problem solving through directed pretension

  • Can be compared to a fishing rod above the robot
  • Generates consistent & directional pretension from 700 to 2000mm
  • Supplied as a pre-assembled assembly consisting of triflex® R, inserted and fixed spring rods
  • No snagging and reduced skidding compared to loose e-chain®
  • Automatic return of the triflex® R to its original position

  1. Locking chain links connected to each other to compensate for the relative movement of the spring rods within the e-chain®
  2. Area for mounting bracket of the universal mounting kit (see accessories)
  3. Spring rod length, which is included in the part number
  4. Additional chain (TRE.B or TRC) without fibre-rod (individually adjustable as required and therefore not included in the scope of delivery)
  5. Possible protectors (TR.XX.30) for additional protection of the chain
  6. Spring rods inside the TRE.B or TRC**

fibre-rod available in 2 versions

Both fibre-rod versions can be combined with the TRC or TRE chain with the same size index.

Closed type (TRC)

fibre-rod from TRC

The fibre-rod consisting of the TRC chain offers the cable and hose maximum protection against external influences and the penetration of chips is significantly reduced.

Open type (TRE)

fibre-rod from TRE

The fibre-rod consisting of the TRE chain has the great advantage that cables can be replaced much more easily and quickly than with the closed TRC version.

Accessories for correct installation of the TRC and TRE.B fibre-rod module

  • Stainless steel angle tube with mounting brackets for attachment to the robot
  • Fastening option with connection elements to fix the fibre-rod to the angle tube.
  • The angle tube and fibre-rod can therefore be positioned freely
Buy universal mounting kit
  • Quick and easy adaptation to new robot programme sequences
  • Targeted masking of interfering edges and avoidance of cable loops
  • triflex® Guide R close to the robot arm or to the side of axis 6 to allow max. to enable maximum rotational movements
Application example with fibre-rod

Universal mounting set with TRE.B fibre-rod mounted on a Fanuc M-900iB/360

Universal mounting kit

The universal mounting kit fits almost any robot thanks to its slotted holes and stepless adjustment.
