twisterchain - circular and spiral movements, snap-open along both sides

The twisterchain product line offers a wide range for circular movements and is available in four sizes. Modular in width and radius, therefore flexible in applications where rotary and spiral movements up to 360° and more with high loads and smooth operation are required. The twisterchain applications are available with guide trough, which has the following advantages: guidance of the energy chain, reduced abrasion of the energy chain, optimal operational smoothness, rotation angle up to 360° from stock.

• Strong, high fill weights, smooth operation, weight-optimised
• Rotary speeds up to 1m/s and more
• Circular/spiral movements up to 360° from stock (up to 400° upon request)
• Cable-friendly, smooth interior crossbars openable along the inner and outer radius
• Successfully tested for over 1 million cycles in the igus laboratory

Realised in practice: twisterchain in multiple robots

For the circular movement of the rotary axis of a multiple robot, a twisterchain proves its worth. Here it is used with a rotary movement of 180°. Hoses and cables are safely guided, abrasion is significantly reduced, and operational smoothness increased.
