For historical reasons, energy chains have so far always been manufactured from steel or plastic. Steel has the advantage of allowing longer unsupported lengths. A plastic energy chain has various advantages, including lower cost and faster installation. There is now a new product: the hybrid steel-plastic chain. The energy chain is built with steel inner […]
Die Diskussion über die weltweit durch Kraftfahrzeuge erzeugte CO2-Emission stellt eine Herausforderung für jeden Entwickler in der Automobilindustrie dar. Neben der Optimierung des Motors, des Antriebstrangs und weiteren Komponenten spielt die Reduzierung von Gewicht eine wichtige Rolle, um den Schadstoffausstoß zu minimieren. Bei Verbrennungsmotoren, wie auch in der Elektromobilität, hat die Wahl der eingesetzten Materialien […]
What specific advantages does the energy chain have over the classical festooning or cable trolley system in an indoor crane? Increased interior range without obstacles. Unexcelled distances under the entire crane girder. Low chain system installation space necessary on the crane. No cables dangling from the crane girder – greater storage space. Small clearance between the hook and the wall. Longer cable service life. Operating and maintenance costs lower than those of festooning or a cable trolley system. Less susceptibility to errors. No components that require regular lubrication.
In large machines, the X-axis is always a particularly great challenge. All supply lines the machine requires run through this e-chain, which can be very long. That is why reliability is especially important here. Because each machine tool is unique, we always try to find the best solution for the application in question. The […]
Harnessed energy chains in automatic medication picking systems face special requirements.
