New flexible holder system (FHS)
– Holds securely anywhere!
A
new and innovative solution
providing secure fastening
of dynamic energy supply to
robots. Wires, cables or cable protection
conduits are fastened directly onto the
robots via a modular holder system. This
new solution is extremely versatile and
compatible with a variety of different
robot types. The Flexible Holder System
offers secure anchorage, does not slip
and fits anywhere! On straight or conical
surfaces, on edges or different surfaces,
profiles and diameters: the flexible
holder system holds securely anywhere!
Maximum flexibility: Two base bodies –
three fastening options
The versatile FHS consists of two
different base bodies, which can be used
with three different fastening options
and a velcro tape in various lengths. A
flexible, secure and easy energy supply
system.
OPTION1 - FLEXIBLE HOLDER
SYSTEM WITH SYSTEM HOLDER -
FHS - SH
This option is ideal for guiding and
stabilizing small energy supplies.
The system is designed for low to
medium travel speed and is suited to
gliding or fixed assembly of the cable
protection conduit. The FHS-SH is
highly recommended for the energy
supply for original equipment as well as
subsequent installations.
The FHS-SH system, which includes the
system holder SH M25/M32, is suitable
for conduits sizes M25/P21 and M32/
P29. The flexible holder system can be
individually equipped with the inlays
of the system holder. Thus, for strain
relief the KEG-ZL with cable ties and
KEG-K with cable star can be used or
for specific fixing the ball joints KMG-F
(fixed) and KMG-G (gliding).

OPTION 2 - THE FLEXIBLE HOLDER
SYSTEM WITH ONE - PIECE
UNIVERSAL HOLDER - FHS - UHE
The Flexible holder system with
one-piece universal holder allows
simple and safe initial assembly, but
also enables subsequent assembly or
disassembly to be quick and hassle free.
The one-piece, undetachable locking
clip, allows replacement of cable
protection conduits with one click just
in seconds. The FHS-UHE is particularly
recommended for avoiding axial
displacements of the cable protection
conduits within dynamic and simple
applications.
The one-piece universal holder is
available for two different conduit
sizes: UHE M32/P29 and UHE M25/
P21. If required, an end grommet can be
mounted for an additional protection of
wires and cables. It closes off the open
end of the protection conduit as well
as a centring device for exiting wires
and cables. The end grommet is used as
protection against dirt and at the same
time offers a slight strain relief.
FLEXIBLE HOLDER SYSTEM WITH
LOOPED VELCRO - FHS - C
The third option is the flexible holder
system with looped velcro tape (FHS-C).
With this configuration, the wires,
cables and cable protection conduits
are attached to the robot arm directly,
safely and without damaging the
cables. With various velcro tape lengths
available, this system is very versatile
and fits various robot arm diameters,
as well as wires, cables and protection
conduits. A further advantage of direct
mounting with the velcro tape is
that no tool is required for mounting,
there are no loose and detachable
components and the design is flat and
compact.
THE DESIGN MAKES THE
DIFFERENCE – THE BASE BODY
The special design of the base body
and the specially coated velcro tape
ensures that the base body is fastened
to the robot arm safely and securely. It
also guarantees a gentle support and
slip resistance of the wires, cables and
protection conduits.
Both versions of the base body have
an anti-slip rubber coating (red soft
component) at the support surface of
the robot arm. This provides secure hold
and gentle support without scratching
the surface. While the FHS-SH has a
slip-free coating only at the bottom of
the base body, the FHS-UHE and FHS-C
have a red soft component on the
bottom, the side parts up to the upper
side. This functionality guarantees a
slip-free and gentle mounting of the
energy supply anytime.
The flexible velcro tape has a special
coating on the inside ensuring that
the system is quickly and securely to
the robot arm. The coating is made of
thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) allowing
a cable-friendly and slip-free assembly
on the base body. The various lengths
allow a continuous adjustment and are
suitable for various diameters (robot
types and energy packages).
