ROBOTRAX Design principle
|
|
|
Chain links
|
|
|
 |
The basic structure of ROBOTRAX consists of plastic links. These have ball and socket style snap-together connectors on both sides. The individual links can thus be snapped together to form a cable carrier.
|
|
|
Internal bend radius stoppers ensure that the minimum bend radius is maintained in all directions. Radial link rotation movement is also possible (see table).

|
Steel wire and shim bolts
|
|
|
 |
When the robot arms are moving quickly, high accelerations occur, exerting high pulling forces on the cable carrier.
|
|
|
To be able to transmit these pulling forces ROBOTRAX has a hole in the middle of every chain link, through which a steel wire is drawn. This steel wire adopts the role of force transmission. The steel wire has a shim bolt attached to each end. As a result ROBOTRAX can achieve accelerations up to 10 g and higher.
Long service life of the cables and hoses:
The forces are transmitted by the cable carrier and not by the cables and hoses.

Quick-opening mounting brackets
|
|
|
  |
The fixing and further guidance of the ROBOTRAX (on the arms of the robot) is achieved by means of quick-opening mounting brackets, fastened with two screws. The quick-opening mounting brackets fit any chain link. The fastening points can therefore be individually matched to the movement sequence of the robot.

Quickly opened: Simply unlock the lynch pin, pull it out and open the quick-opening mounting bracket.
