Plastics processing.Heat, speed and repetition.
Injection moulding machines and their take-out robots make the same movement over and over, close to hot moulds. Cables and hoses must withstand that pace and that heat.
Kabelmanagement in plastics processing
What does plastics processing demand from industrial cable management?
Typical: Injection moulding machines · Take-out robots · Extrusion lines · Blow moulding machines · Thermoforming
- 01
Speed
Take-out robots accelerate hard and over short distances.
- 02
Many lines
Water, air, vacuum and electrics in one package.
- 03
Heat
Hot moulds and temperature controllers radiate heat.
- 04
Continuous operation
Machines run in shifts.
Products
What we supply for plastics processing
Per product why it fits here, and what we do for you alongside it. From advice to installation, with one point of contact.
Tsubaki Kabelschlepp
Plastic cable carriers
- Why it fits
- For machine building, handling and automation.
- What we do
- We calculate the series and supply the carrier fully assembled from Ruurlo.
Reiku
Robot dress packs
- Why it fits
- A dress pack protects and guides everything that goes to a robot's tooling: welding current, air, cooling water, signals and data.
- What we do
- Our robotics division assembles the package and mounts it on your robot.
Tsubaki Kabelschlepp · TRAXLINE
Flexible cables (TRAXLINE)
- Why it fits
- TRAXLINE cables from Tsubaki Kabelschlepp are developed for continuous movement in cable carriers.
- What we do
- We select the cable by bending cycles and radius and cut and assemble it to length.
Reiku
Protective hoses for robots
- Why it fits
- Corrugated Reiku protective hoses around the cable and hose package of an industrial robot.
- What we do
- We choose size and material and supply the complete package per robot axis.
Reiku
Holders and fixings
- Why it fits
- Reiku clamps, clamping jaws, ball joints and swivel flanges that guide, hold or rotate the protective hose on the robot.
- What we do
- We match holders and clamps to your robot and hose size.
Reiku
Retraction systems
- Why it fits
- A spring on the upper arm that pulls the protective hose back as the robot retracts, and releases it as it extends.
- What we do
- We determine the spring force and mount the system on the upper arm.
