Fibre-rod for robots in the dry cleanroom

The triflex® energy chain TRC.40.058.0.ESD in combination with the associated spring rod system is the first certified, three-dimensionally movable energy supply for dry cleaning room applications.
three-dimensionally movable energy supply for dry cleaning room applications. In the context of increasingly present
electric mobility, which has become an integral part of our everyday lives, the requirements for the automatedproduction of lithium-ionproduction of lithium-ion batteries must continue to evolve.

Test Report

TRC.40.058.0.ESD with fibre-rod module
The system was specifically designed for use on industrial robots to ensure a smooth and contact-free production process. The integrated glass fibre rods serve to stabilise the energy chain up to the fifth axis and prevent contact between the industrial robot and the energy chain. The subsequent TRC energy chain makes it possible to follow the movements precisely and therefore offers a high degree of flexibility, which is particularly advantageous in dynamic applications. With thousands of successful applications in non-cleanroom conditions, the system has already proven itself extensively in practice and stands for reliability and efficiency.

Test environment:
The system was tested in a dry cleanroom with a dew point of -40 °C, which corresponds to a relative humidity of <1 % at a room temperature of 22 °C and cleanroom class ISO 3 with 3 different parameter sets:
