Uninterrupted Motion for the Smart Factory Floor

A six-axis industrial robot assembling electric vehicles can complete tens of thousands of rotational movements during a single production shift. All the while, it transmits servo power, encoder feedback, Industrial Ethernet and pneumatic air to its end effector. Conventional cable routing eventually twists, wears and limits robot movement, leading to maintenance downtime. Modern production lines demand 24/7 operation with millions of revolutions per year. Here, standard slip rings develop contact wear, generate debris and introduce intermittent signal faults. These faults trigger costly line stoppages. FlowTurn's Electrical Slip Rings eliminate cable twisting with unlimited rotation. Our Hybrid Slip Rings combine electrical circuits with pneumatic passages in one compact assembly. They are purpose-built for robotic welding, collaborative robots, pick-and-place and rotary indexing.
