RSE Linear

triflex RSE linear

Retraction system for welding, riveting & nailing robots

  • Available in all sizes 40mm - 100mm, can be mounted on one system
  • Shorter cable lengths, because there is no deflection
  • Cost-effective, space-saving design
  • Less deflection points, greater process reliability for laser light cables and supply hoses

RSP

RSP

Pneumatic retraction system avoids loops on robot’s wrist

  • Larger carriers guided safely up to ø 125 mm
  • Adjustable, variable pull-back force made possible by a pressure control valve
  • Virtually constant power flow over the complete travel, even with heavy fillings.
  • Limit position can be monitored, therefore avoiding significant damage during failures.
  • Larger pull-back forces for RS system
