Abstract
A device () is proposed for guiding elongated, flexible elements () along parts () of a machine () movable relative to one another. The flexible elements () can e.g. be power supply cables bunched in a hose for a tool of a multiaxial industrial robot (), which are guided along the axes of the latter. A device () according to the invention is characterized by a sheet blank () located on the surface of a machine part () for creating a fixing face () for machine attachment () spaced from said surface. At least one flexible element () is held and guided in a gap) between the surface and the fixing face (). As a result of the thus created, layered or superimposed arrangement of machine attachments () and flexible elements () guided on the machine space conflict between the same is avoided.
