However, in order for users to benefit from the intelligent software, powerful hardware is also required to enable the Kuka KR 6 R700-2 to reliably perform dynamic tasks in continuous operation. One thing is particularly important here: safe guidance of additionally attached cables to the hose. When many end effectors are used, the cables must be particularly well protected. "When it came to finding the right cable routing for our application, we quickly came across the triflex® R TRE.40.058.0.B in conjunction with the Cobot Schellen. We were already familiar with igus® as a supplier of energy chains. And we were not aware of an alternative product that met the high requirements of our application," explains Stefan Fuß, Team Leader Automation Engineering at ArtiMinds. The triflex® R chain with its round shape and 3-dimensional movements is ideal for robot applications. By combining the round shape of a hose with the stability of an energy chain, the triflex® R ensures safe cable routing. "With complex movements and constant load due to tension and torsion, a cable can easily break. The force-torque sensor that we use is subjected to a very high load. Flexible cable routing helps here and even more important is good strain relief. The TRE.40.058.0.B in combination with the Cobot Schellen from igus® was therefore the ideal solution," adds Stefan Fuß
