RoboRex® – Compact High Flex Retraction System
Maximum flexibility for complex energy routing
RoboRex® is Becker Robotics’ compact retraction system, developed for applications where maximum flexibility, tight installation space, and complex media routing are required.
Unlike conventional retraction concepts, RoboRex® allows cables and hoses to be routed without corrugated tubing, making it especially suitable for systems with multiple feed lines, mixed media types, or special hose configurations. The system has been proven in demanding industrial environments where space efficiency and adaptability are critical.
Designed for
Complex Routing Requirements
RoboRex® was engineered specifically for applications that exceed the limits of standard corrugated tube solutions. Its architecture enables flexible routing of smooth hoses, cables, or mixed hoses and cables, while maintaining controlled retraction behavior and long term reliability.
Key design characteristics include:
- Extremely compact system geometry
- Routing without corrugated tubing
- Support for multiple feed tubes within one retraction unit
- Adjustable configuration based on aluminum profile architecture
- Clean and accessible routing layout
This makes RoboRex® particularly effective in robots with limited installation space or highly dynamic motion profiles.
Maintenance Free and Application Specific
RoboRex® is designed as a maintenance free retraction system, ensuring stable pullback behavior over long service life without the need for frequent adjustment or intervention.
The pullback force can be adjusted per application, allowing precise tuning based on:
- Cable and hose weight
- Motion dynamics
- Application specific load conditions
This ensures controlled movement while minimizing mechanical stress on the routed media.
Modular And Adaptable By Design
The modular aluminum profile design allows RoboRex® to be configured and adapted to different robot types and application requirements while maintaining standardized interfaces.
Benefits of this approach include:
- High adaptability for special applications
- Easy integration into existing energy supply systems
- Standardized components with flexible layout options
- Straight forward service access and replacement
RoboRex® is often used where customization is required without sacrificing robustness or reliability.
Proven in Demanding Applications
RoboRex® is used worldwide in applications such as:
- Material handling
- Welding and joining processes
- Sealing and adhesive applications
- Multimedia and hybrid tooling
- Special and customized robotic processes
Its ability to handle multiple, diverse energy and media lines in a compact envelope makes RoboRex a preferred solution for integrators facing complex routing challenges.
RoboRex® complements Becker’s RoboRoc® system and broader Energy Supply System portfolio. Together, these solutions allow Becker to address both standard and highly specialized routing requirements using proven, production ready platforms.
RoboRex® reflects Becker Robotics’ development philosophy:
Engineer for real applications, validate in production, standardize where possible, and remain flexible where required.
