Robot dresspacks: flexible cable carriers & accessories for industrial robots
triflex® R is a multi-axis cable carrier designed for a variety of robotic applications
triflex® R features a built-in torsion stop to reduce the amount of mechanical stress imposed on your robot cables; a defined bend radius to ensure the bend radius of your cables won’t be violated; and a split cavity that acts as a separator to reduce excessive cable wear. Unlike corrugated tubing, triflex® R comes in nine sizes and is designed with ball and socket links that enable individual pieces of the system to be replaced if one of them is damaged. You can add or remove links if your system is too short, too long or if your robot needs to be repurposed.

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions
- Corrugated hose:
Stretches greatly under tensile load. The cables in the corrugated hose cannot elongate in the same ratio and are therefore damaged. - triflex® R:
Stretches only minimally under tensile load. No additional load for the cables
- Corrugated hose:
It offers no minimum bend radius - triflex® R:
Offers a bend radius of between 50 to 182mm depending on the triflex size.
- Corrugated hose
Damage to the corrugated hose due to stresses and torsional movement can cause damage to the cables - triflex® R:
The stop-dogs prevent the e-chain from bending too tightly.
- Corrugated hose:
None or limited torsion occurs - triflex® R: 7-12.5° torsion angle per chain link
Up to 900° torsion angle for one metre (example: TRC/TRE.40)
- Corrugated hose:
If the plug is not too large, the cable can be pushed through from the ends. - triflex® R: With TRE, TRL, TRLF and TRCF, cables with plugs can be pressed in externally.
- Corrugated hose:
Can be shortened only with tools (knives). This can pose health and safety risks and can damage cables. - triflex® R:
Length is adjustable with and without tools being required. This is dependant on which triflex range.
Due to the moduar design, the triflex can be lengthened and shortened by fitting/ removing chain links to suit. This cannot be done with a corrugated hose.
- Corrugated hose:
Can be installed via the hose ends only. - triflex® R: Can be installed via the e-chain ends or due to the design of the TRE, TRL and TRCF, the installing of cables/services can be implemented externally.
