GUIDE SYSTEM FOR SUPPLY LINES AND ROBOT HAVING A GUIDE SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a guide system for supply lines for a handling appliance, in particular for an industrial robot, having a base and a strand, in or on which the supply lines can be arranged. For length compensation, the strand is arranged in a compensation section in a manner guided displaceably back and forth between a deflection position and a restoring position via a displacement path (V) in two runs that are connected together via a deflecting curve and each have an end-side connection point. The guide system has a restoring apparatus for restoring the strand into the restoring position. The restoring apparatus is provided with a deflection guide having a deflection element which is arranged in a variable position with respect to the base and on which the deflection curve is supported laterally for guidance thereof via the displacement path. In order to restore the deflection element, a restoring force that can be sensed by sensors can act thereon.
