Energy supply
A gliding application frequently looks better than an unsupported energy chain. This is not just because the straight line of the upper run, but also because the sag leading to the chain drop is eliminated. This allows unsupported systems to better use the space at the end of the travel. But at high fill weights […]
In these energy chains crossbars are installed in every second chain link. The advantages of energy chains with crossbars every second link: low price (up to 20% savings) lowers weight, reducing drive forces fast assembly reduces assembly costs easy access to interior separation and cables maximum fill weight identical to that of an energy chain […]
The search for the best-suited cable guidance system for indoor crane applications under the influence of aggressive chemicals is a challenge. The specially developed chemically resistant igumid EG+ plastic is used both for the energy chain and for the plastic guide trough. The material’s very low total moisture absorption, which grants great resistance to aggressive chemicals, is decisive.
If you enter “heavy duty” into a search machine, you will find lots of explanations of the term. But an exact definition is difficult to find. Of course, this is primarily because it is an English term. Explanations can be found in the descriptions of equipment and machines. “Heavy duty” means “able to withstand unusual […]
The data transfer dilemma In the course of general system and vehicle automation in intralogistics, there is an area where companies are converting their narrow-aisle trucks into true autonomous transport vehicles. Something that was pure science fiction just a few years ago, can be implemented relatively easily today with the help of modern information technology […]
