Series Connections as in Humans
The cable pulls are routed through from one joint to the next—just as joints are connected in humans. Only four cables are required for cable duct, each plastic joint to be able to rotate and swivel freely.
The cables themselves are made from technical synthetic fibers. These are wire duct extremely strong, hardly stretch at all, are resistant to chemicals, and are lubrication-free and very wear resistant. When compared to steel, their light weight also makes them much pvc duct more energy-efficient.
“We are pleased to be breaking new ground with our tribo-plastics,” says igus Managing Director Frank Blase. “The new modular system brings the developers plastic duct of humanoid robots real benefits: lightweight, ready-made mechanical solutions for the future.”
