EXTERIOR RETAINING AND GUIDING DEVICE FOR THE SUPPLY CONDUITS OF ACTUATED TOOLS OF MANIPULATORS

摘要

The supply line fixing uses a series of holders (11) maintaining the supply lines in a compact bundle (10) as they are fed from one part of the machine frame to the other. Each of the holders is attached to the manipulator (1) so that it can be rotated. Pref. the supply line bundle (10) is enclosed in a sleeve (12) between each two adjacent holders, allowing the supply line bundle to follow the individual movements of the manipulator. Each holder pref. comprises a tubular housing with fixed and moving sections, into which an insert for defining a number of separate boxes of required dia. is inserted.
