Six-Axis Cable Failures, Solved | triflex® at IMTS 2026

Find us at IMTS: https://www.igus.com/company/imts Learn more about triflex® cable management: https://www.igus.com/robot-dress-pack Contact a triflex® expert: https://www.igus.com/service/contact?contact=b35c29b7-b80c-4b02-87a9-00cd87191d83 Cables on a six-axis robot don\'t fail the way cables fail anywhere else. Every wrist rotation twists them, every reach drags them across the arm, and the damage builds where nobody can see it until the cell stops mid-shift. triflex® robotic cable carriers are built for exactly that motion. They absorb torsion instead of fighting it, hold cables at a defined bend radius through the full range of the arm, and keep the dresspack from snagging on the robot or the workpiece. The result is cables that reach their rated service life instead of getting replaced every few months, and a cell that keeps running. See it moving in person at IMTS 2026, September 14–19 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Stop by the igus® booth in the North Building for live displays and to walk through your own robot application with our engineers. Not headed to Chicago?

Motion in Automation with igus® at IMTS 2026

Find us at IMTS 2026! Learn more about igus® solutions for automation: https://www.igus.com/automation Contact an igus® product expert: https://www.igus.com/service/contact/?contact=39b47d18-b8bc-45ba-be2f-8c34097aef52 Every automated system starts with the same problem: something has to move — reliably, thousands of times, without stopping the line for maintenance. That\'s the part of automation nobody thinks about until it fails. igus® exists to solve it. We\'re an enabler of motion — the materials and components that let machines, robots, and equipment actually move. Self-lubricating polymer bearings that run without grease. Energy chains that guide cables through millions of cycles. Continuous-flex cables engineered for constant movement. Linear guides, lead screws, and low-cost robotics built on the same principle: motion that doesn\'t require maintenance to keep working. Automation gets the attention. Motion makes it possible. Learn how igus® motion plastics® can reduce cost and eliminate maintenance in your application. #motionplastics #automation #industrialautomation #motioncontrol #engineering #igus
