A fastening device is useful for at least one supply hose and/or at least one supply line for fastening to an industrial-robot arm with a holder, an assignable holder unit for the supply hose and/or the supply line, and a lockable tensioning element. The holder is arranged on the lockable tensioning element so that the holder, by the tensioning element being clasped and locked around the industrial-robot arm, can be fastened and/or positioned flexibly on the industrial-robot arm and thus in the event of the holder being connected to the assignable holding unit the supply hose and/or the supply line can be oriented in a specific manner.

This application is a National Stage entry under § 371 of International Application No. PCT/DE2018/200015, filed on Feb. 23, 2018, and which claims the benefit of German Application No. 10 2017 107 043.5, filed on Mar. 31, 2017.
The invention relates to a fastening device for a supply hose and/or a supply line for fastening to an industrial-robot arm.
Industrial-robot arms are used in industrial manufacturing and require a supply of power, media and/or data for their operation. For this purpose, usually corresponding hoses and/or control and power cables are guided from a central supply unit to the industrial-robot arm. These cables and hoses, such as for example an air hose, are guided along the robot arm either individually or bundled in a flexible supply hose.
The invention will be discussed in greater detail below with reference to examples of embodiment. Therein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a fastening holder with a corrugated hose,
FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of an industrial-robot arm with five fastening holders and a corrugated hose,
A fastening holder 101 comprises a belt strap 105, and the belt strap 105 comprises a hook-and-loop fastener 109 at both its ends. Furthermore, the fastening holder 101 comprises a PU holder 103 and a steel plate 107. The belt strap 105 is guided through the interior of the PU holder 103, with, in the case of the belt strap 105 which is closed by the hook-and-loop fastener 109, the PU holder 103 assuming a length corresponding to an angle 117 of 180° of the length of the closed belt strap 105 and also an angle 117 of 180° of a periphery of an industrial-robot arm 121 which is to be enclosed.
The steel plate 107 is arranged within a cavity in the interior of the PU holder 103. The steel plate 107 comprises two screw threads, into which two screws 115 of a pivotable clip 111 are screwed. In this case, the two screws 115 are guided into the steel plate 107 through two openings in the PU holder 103. The pivotable clip 111 bears a corrugated hose 113 in its interior. The corrugated hose has a nominal diameter of DN 25.
An industrial-robot arm 121 comprises six axes of rotation. At the end of the industrial-robot arm 121 there is arranged an assembly tool 123 for assembling workpieces. The assembly tool 123 is connected to a central supply means 125 by way of the corrugated hose 113. In the corrugated hose 113, a power supply line, a signal line and an air hose are guided from the central supply means 125 to the tool 123.
