triflex® RS dresspack compact universal module for industrial robots

New product for 2025 - retraction system completely in ESD material

ESD stands for electrostatically dissipative and ensures that voltage is dissipated in a targeted manner so that sensitive electronic components are not damaged.

ESD protection is particularly important in the production of electronic components, for example in battery or chip production.

Universal module for all movements on the robot

triflex® RS dresspack is a very compact universal module that is installed on the existing attachment points on the robot. Thanks to the low installation height and the triflex® R chain guide parallel to the robot arm, applications with very tight installation spaces can also be implemented. triflex® RS dresspack with integrated fibreglass rods offers an excellent opportunity to implement the energy supply to the robot head safely and without cable stress.
Our employees will be happy to answer your questions directly on site at your specific application.

To the complete system in 4 steps

Step 1

Select the correct chain size using the online tool

Determine the number and outer diameter of the cables and hoses to be guided from axis 3-6
Use the interior separation configurator to determine the correct chain size that can easily accommodate all the required cables.
When selecting the e-chain, please note that only the TRC & TRE.B series can be combined with this system

To the configurator

Step 2

Select mounting plate for retraction system

You can choose whether the energy chain is extended to the left or right
The viewing direction to determine the fixed end, whether left or right, is always from the rear
Mounting brackets & gliding feed-through are included in the scope of delivery

Step 3

Select chain type and additional length

To the shop for chain sets RS retraction system

TRE.B the open type

TRE.B version can absorb 4x more pull force than the TRC version
Open type means that the cables and hoses can simply be pushed into the energy chain
Select the size that matches your chosen RS system
Use the part number to determine the additional chain length (500mm, 1000mm, 1500m or 2000mm) which should be available outside the RS.

TRC the closed type

Closed type means maximum protection against external influences
Select the size that matches your chosen RS system
Use the part number to determine the additional chain length (500mm, 1000mm, 1500m or 2000mm) which should be available outside the RS.
