Cable And Hose Systems Suited For Outfitting Robots

Also called dresspacks or umbilicals, the company's fully assembled cable and hose systems have been developed for routing power, data and media to industrial robots. The assemblies are said to extend the life of robotics cables and hoses by up to 10 times the normal life expectancy. The umbilical consists of a flexible polyurethane jacket and contains all the needed components to supply a welding or handling robot with water, air, vacuum, electricity, and communications. Each dresspack includes boots that are mounted with patented bracket modules. An entire system consists of posts, brackets, boots, and umbilical and can absorb the kinetic energy generated by the robot. Each dresspack is custom designed to user specifications. A black dresspack that uses a corrugated protective shell is also available. For further information and pricing, contact LEONI EPS, Troy, MI. (248) 655-1900.
