Method for supporting rolling power connections for linear driven equipment using an extrusion to form a linear support bed with profiled flanges and grooves

摘要

A method for supporting the rolling power connections (18) for a linear driven equipment, e.g. a robotic machine, has the electric cables and/or hydraulic/pneumatic hoses in a flexible sheath (18) fixed with one end to a travelling support (16) and with the other end secured to a guide bed (32) The guide bed is a simple extrusion with a flat support bed and side flanges (25) which hold the rolling sheath on the guide. The extrusion also have recessed grooves to secure the end of the connection and outer grooves to fix the extrusion to the support frame.
