The Cable Carrier Built for Three-Dimensional Robotic Motion
ROBOTRAX® System
The only cable carrier engineered specifically for three-dimensional swivel and rotation movements in robotic applications. Three separate chambers organise cables with an integrated steel cable supporting up to 10g acceleration — purpose-built for six-axis industrial robots.
Why Choose ROBOTRAX® System?
The Only Carrier Engineered for Six-Axis Robot Motion
A six-axis robot creates cable motion that combines extension, lateral rotation, twist, and acceleration simultaneously. Standard linear carriers cannot follow this motion without fighting the robot's movement. ROBOTRAX is specifically engineered for multi-dimensional articulation — it follows the robot rather than restraining it.
10g Acceleration Support
Modern industrial robots accelerate at rates that would tear conventional cable management free from its mounts. ROBOTRAX's integrated steel support cable anchors the carrier contents against accelerations up to 10g, preventing cable whip and connector damage during rapid robotic trajectories.
Three-Chamber Organisation Prevents Cable Interaction
In a free cable bundle, power cables, signal cables, and pneumatic hoses move independently and tangle against each other during three-dimensional motion. ROBOTRAX's three separate chambers keep each cable type segregated — preventing wear from inter-cable contact and making cable identification straightforward during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ROBOTRAX replace cable conduit systems on six-axis robots?
ROBOTRAX is specifically designed to outperform both loose cable bundles and rigid conduit systems on six-axis robots. Unlike conduit, it articulates freely in 3D. Unlike loose bundles, it organises and protects cables in three separate chambers. It is the preferred solution for high-cycle robotic applications.
Is ROBOTRAX compatible with all robot brands?
ROBOTRAX is a universal accessory that can be adapted to most industrial robot brands including KUKA, FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa, and others. Tsubaki offers robot-specific mounting kits. Contact RSTECH with your robot model for a compatibility confirmation.
Does ROBOTRAX require special cables inside?
For maximum service life, Tsubaki recommends TRAXLINE cables rated for robotic applications (high torsional flex life, minimum twisting resistance). Using standard cables may result in premature failure. Contact RSTECH for a complete robot cable set recommendation.
