The installation space for energy chains is often limited in height. One solution, although not always practical, is then to reduce the bend radius of the energy chain. But this is not always possible. Either the reduction of the bend radius is not sufficient for the chain to fit into the installation space, or it […]
Every machine contains moving parts that cause friction during operation. In contrast to metal, components made of wear-resistant iglidur polymers do not require additional lubrication (because they contain solid lubricants) – however polymers cannot dissipate the electrostatic discharge caused by friction. In semiconductor and electrical engineering, a static discharge through components can cause permanent damage […]
The maximum tensile strain of a cable is particularly important where cables are used in hanging applications. Because there the cable must carry its own weight. This is the case in the lifting movement of a storage and retrieval unit (SRU). The maximum tensile force for cables The maximum tensile strain indicates up to which […]
Diversity is increasing, and with it the flexibility of vending machines. Whoever wants to sell masks today and snacks tomorrow can do so without any problems.
The growing diversity of consumption is increasingly presenting vending machine manufacturers with major challenges. How can installation space be saved notwithstanding the growing product range?
