Murrplastik is a specialist in retraction systems and holder hardware, sold through a configurator. Becker engineers complete energy supply packages for a specific cell. The two overlap on part of the problem rather than all of it.
What Murrplastik offers
The robotics range centres on retraction: R-Tec Liner 2.0 with an open design for accessibility, R-Tec Box as a compact lightweight unit, and R-Tec Liner with an aluminium housing. Alongside these sit the FHS flexible holder system in three variants, the R-FKD flange clamp with integrated pivot bearing, and the SHS system clamp. A manufacturer-independent dress pack configurator lets you select robot make and model.
The retraction and holder hardware is well made and the configurator is a real convenience. If what you need is a retraction system or clamps for an otherwise sorted installation, it is a sound choice.
Where Murrplastik is ahead
- A published configurator — specify and order without a conversation. Becker publishes none.
- Component-level purchase — buy a retraction unit or a clamp set on its own
- Speed for standard installations where the routing is already understood
Where Becker is ahead
The whole package, not the hardware around it
Becker supplies the conductors, hoses, corrugated tube, protection, clamping and retraction as one engineered assembly, tested before it ships — see what a dress pack is. Becker’s own retraction systems, RoboRoc and RoboRex, are part of that assembly rather than a separate purchase.
Welding and hot environments
We did not find welding-specific or high-temperature products published in Murrplastik’s robotics range. Becker publishes temperature ratings for every material in the package and supplies replaceable leather spatter protection — see high-temperature and spatter environments.
Cell-level scope
Tip dressing, coolant monitoring, programming, integration and refurbishment alongside the pack.
Honest summary
If you need retraction hardware or holders for an installation you are engineering yourself, Murrplastik does that well and quickly. If you want one supplier to be responsible for everything the robot carries, and particularly if the cell welds, that is the case for Becker.
Checked against Murrplastik’s published material, September 2026. Absence of a published welding range is an observation about their website, not a claim about their capability — if that has changed, tell us and we will update this page.
