REIKU jointed tubings are now available in the nominal sizes of 48 and 76. A variety of new connectors enables them to be flexibly incorporated into the production environment and to readily connect them with conventional corrugated conduits. Photo: REIKU Johann Kasper, who is responsible for robot cable ducts at REIKU, says: “Our jointed tubings have been proving themselves in practice for more than ten years in applications in which corrugated tubing or link chains reach or exceed their loading limits. Their main advantage is their rotatability in the longitudinal axis, which avoids the related torsional moments and stresses. As a result, and because the piping does not bend, the amount of wear and tear is reduced and the life expectancy is extended significantly. For the user, this means fewer downtimes for the production lines and reduced labour costs for replacement.” . www.reiku.de WIRE NEWS March 2018 9
