A robot is positioned in a washing chamber and
the cables for sensor or pneumatic hoses revive
its six axles. They are exposed to rotations
and torsion during the individual working cycles,
which requires safe cable guiding. The critical
point: The cables get in contact with water and
chemicals during the washing process and it is
difficult to control potential damages in a closed
system. Numerous tests with products from different
providers have been carried out. The robot
works trouble-free with the triflex® RS dresspack
system from igus®. The cable guiding is
optimal, installation times are clearly shortened
and the utilization rate of the washing plant has
been increased.
