Energy supply systems for body construction

Energy safely guided in all directions

The process flows smoothly in car body construction. If a machine part stops, the entire production line breaks down. To protect electrical and pneumatic cables and supply hoses for robots from sparks and debris, under complex torsional movements, igus has developed the triflex energy chain. It is ideal for multi-axis movement and is easy to install, maintain and adjust.

Success stories

E-chain triflex Jaguar Automotive

Two-thirds fewer failures with triflex R energy chain

Jaguar Cars Limited needed to find a new cable routing for the autom­ated industrial robots for a car factory. The previous solution with hoses caused high downtime as the hoses dropped into the robot's working range after some time. The newly installed triflex RS universal module, on the other hand, pulls the cables back again with every movement.
