How to install an igus® triflex® R retraction system RS

In this video you can see how to install a triflex® R retraction system (RS) on an ABB of the IRB 6700 series with an adapter for attaching the retraction system without drilling. Furthermore, a triflex® R TRE. B version with connection elements, side brackets and protectors installed for additional protection. The cables can be easily pressed in from the side thanks to the split opening design on the triflex® R chain. This is still possible even after installation. Strain relief at three positions of the system is important and at the same time increases the service life of the cables. If you are also looking for a suitable retraction system for your robot, then we recommend the Quick Robot, where configuration is possible in just a few clicks: e-chain® robot equipment configurator: https://echain-robot-equipment-configurator.igus.tools/start?l=en&c=US
