Robot end effector

LOXIN decided in favour of the motion plastic specialist igus, which had exactly the right solution in the form of its triflex product range . These hose-like protective cages made of wear-resistant plastic follow even the more extreme 3D movements of industrial robots. The cables are protected against the mechanical stress caused by tensile load, torsion and expansion.
