Protective hoses.For cables that follow every robot axis.
Corrugated Reiku protective hoses around the cable and hose package of an industrial robot. They absorb abrasion, kinking, spatter and torsion, with wear parts you replace separately.

Protective hoses for robots
- Materials
- PA 12, PA 11 and PUR
- Flexibility
- From extremely flexible to dimensionally stable
- Versions
- Standard, reinforced and conductive
- Maintenance
- Wear parts replaceable separately
The protective hose is the heart of a dress pack. Everything that goes to the tool, welding current, air, cooling water, signal and data, runs through it and moves with the robot.
Reiku makes the hoses from strong, impact-resistant plastics that show little wear from rubbing and scratching. The most heavily loaded points get wear parts that you replace without renewing the whole pack.
Which hose suits depends on the movement, the environment and what has to go through it. We select the series and size for your robot and combine the hose with the right holders and a retraction system.
Which protective hose fits?
Choose the application and enter the diameter of your cable bundle. You immediately see which series fit and the smallest size the bundle fits in. Data from the Reiku product catalogue.
Application
Measure the bundle at its thickest point. Does the hose also need to fit over a plug, or do you want room for movement? Ask us and we will help choose the size.

Where it sits on the robot
A dress pack consists of hose, holders per axis and a retraction system. The highlighted part shows where this component sits; the other components link on.
- 1Protective hoseCorrugated hose for the cables and hoses to the tool. Absorbs abrasion, kinking and spatter.
- 2Rotary flange on axis 1Holder on a rotating flange, so the package rotates 360° with the base of the robot.
- 3Clamp on axis 3Clamp with clamping jaws that guide, hold or let the hose slide through on the upper arm.
- 4Retraction systemA spring that pulls excess hose back when the robot moves in, so no loop is left hanging.
- 5Ball jointLet the hose move along at an angle at the wrist, where axes 4 and 5 rotate.
- 6Mounting on axis 6End fixing at the tool. This is where the hose arrives at the welding torch, gripper or spray head.
Why
What makes protective hoses for robots strong
- 01Wear-resistant
- Impact-resistant plastics that show little wear from rubbing and scratching.
- 02Wear parts
- Heavily loaded points get a wear part that you replace separately.
- 03One system
- Hose, clamps, ball joints and retraction fit together.
- 04For every environment
- Conductive versions too; for heat, can be combined with heat protection.
Application
Used in
- Welding robots
- Handling and machine loading
- Palletising
- Gluing, sealing and spraying
- Cobots

How to choose
What to look out for when choosing
Not sure? Send us your details and we'll calculate it for you free of charge.
01What has to go through
The number and diameter of cables and hoses determine the inner dimension.
02Movement
Heavy torsion and small radii call for a more flexible series.
03Environment
Weld spatter, heat or static charge determine the material and additional protection.
04Holders and retraction
The size of the hose determines which clamps and which retraction system fit.
