REIKU's Cable Saverâ„¢ - The Most Versatile Modular Robotic Cable Management Solution
REIKU's Cable Saverâ„¢ Solution eliminates downtime, loss of revenue, expensive cable and hose replacement costs, maintenance labour costs. It's available in three sizes 36, 52 and 70 mm. All of the robots cables and hoses are protected when routed through the Cable Saverâ„¢ corrugated tubing.
The Cable Saverâ„¢ uses a spring retraction system housed inside the Energy Tubeâ„¢ to keep this service loop out of harms way in safe location at the rear of the Robot when not required. The Cable Saverâ„¢ is a COMPLETE solution for any make or model of robot. It installs quickly-on either side of the robot and has been tested to resist over 15 million repetitive cycles.
