Non-metallic Robot Protection Tubing, Super Flexible Type, PA6 (Non-FR)
Non-metallic Robot Protection Tubing, PA Super Flexible Corrugated Conduit - PXFE Series, is made of PA in corrugated shape. The designed for robots that always need to repeat the same action for a long period. The ultra-flexible plastic conduit is applied for protection of power, signal, fiber optics and etc. used on robots. Mate with the fixing accessories particularly developed for robot, the ultra-flexible plastic conduit brings different characteristics from PA mechanical protection corrugated conduit that mainly feature with tensile resistance.
The ultra-flexible plastic conduit has high flexibility, bending resistance, wear resistance, long-term fatigue resistance, and long service life, allowing the robot to continue to operate as long as possible and maintaining the stability and efficiency of production.
The ultra-flexible plastic conduit is also applicable to the environment full of chemicals or in abnormal temperature, it still exerts protective function without being affected. That allows the robot to be applied for wider field of application. This type of flexible conduit is suitable for various industries where robots are commonly used, such as: automobile assembly line, spraying workshop, various types of industrial production lines and etc.

Frequently Asked Questions - PXFE Series Non-metallic Robot Protection Tubing
What is the PXFE Series conduit made of?
The PXFE Series is a non-metallic robot protection tubing made from PA6 (nylon 6) in a corrugated shape. It is a super flexible, non-flame-retardant (Non-FR) version designed specifically for robot cable protection rather than general mechanical protection.
What is the PXFE Series used for?
The PXFE Series protects power cables, signal cables, and fiber optic cables running along the moving joints of industrial robots. It is commonly used in automobile assembly lines, spray-painting workshops, and other industrial production lines where a robot arm repeats the same motion continuously for long periods.
How is the PXFE Series different from Kaiflex's standard PA6 mechanical protection tubing (PAFS/PACS Series)?
The PXFE Series is engineered for supreme flexibility and long-term fatigue resistance under continuous, repetitive bending, which is the main stress robot cables face. Kaiflex's standard PA6 mechanical protection tubing (PAFS/PACS Series) is instead optimized for tensile resistance and general mechanical protection. Each tubing is matched with fixing accessories developed for its specific application.
What is the flex life or bending durability of the PXFE Series?
The PXFE Series is rated for supreme flexibility and has passed a swing (bending) test of 1 million cycles, making it suitable for robots that repeat the same motion continuously over a long service life.
What is the operating temperature range of the PXFE Series?
The PXFE Series operates in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +105°C, allowing it to protect robot cabling in both cold storage or outdoor winter conditions and hot industrial environments such as spray-painting booths.
Is the PXFE Series flame retardant?
No. The PXFE Series is a Non-FR (non-flame-retardant) product, as indicated in its product name and specifications. Customers who need a flame-retardant PA6 corrugated tubing should look at Kaiflex's certified mechanical protection tubing lines instead, such as the PAFS/PACS Series (V0/V2 rated).
Is the PXFE Series UL certified?
The PXFE Series datasheet does not list a certificate for this specific product. It is offered as a non-certified, non-flame-retardant tubing optimized for flexibility rather than for regulatory fire or safety listings. Customers who require UL or other third-party certification should contact Kaiflex to confirm which product series in the non-metallic conduit range carries the certification they need.
Is the PXFE Series resistant to chemicals and UV exposure?
The PXFE Series is designed to keep protecting cables in environments with chemical exposure or abnormal temperatures without losing function. However, it is not rated for UV resistance, so it is best suited for indoor or shielded industrial use rather than prolonged direct outdoor sun exposure.
Is the PXFE Series RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. The PXFE Series meets RoHS compliance requirements and is halogen-free, in line with environmental protection standards for electrical and electronic equipment.
What sizes are available for the PXFE Series?
The PXFE Series is available in four nominal sizes: 3/4" (28 mm, part number TPFENA-28), 1" (34 mm, part number TPFENA-34), 1-1/4" (42 mm, part number TPFENA-42), and 2" (54 mm, part number TPFENA-54). Each size has a matched minimum bending radius ranging from 50 mm to 125 mm.
What length does the PXFE Series come in per roll?
Depending on size, the PXFE Series is packaged in rolls of 25 to 50 meters. The 3/4" (28 mm) size ships in 50-meter rolls, while the 1", 1-1/4", and 2" sizes ship in 25-meter rolls.
Can the PXFE Series be used with standard nylon fittings?
The PXFE Series is designed to mate with fixing accessories developed specifically for robot applications. Kaiflex also offers compatible nylon quick-connect fittings, including the FN01 Series (straight type) and FN03 Series (elbow type), both rated V0/V2.
