Energy supply
Machine tools very often have hydraulic hoses that are guided in e-chains – for clamping devices, coolant circuits and other applications. For hoses, as for electrical cables, there are several items to consider in the design and fitting of energy chains. Crossbars every link or every second link What is the permissible bend radius of […]
For pivoting and rotary movements of up to 270°, it is important that cables and hoses are laid in the energy chain’s neutral phase. Why is this so important? Pivoting and rotary movements usually involve winding up the e-chain or guiding it into an S shape. For normal installation positions (horizontal, standing, or suspended), the […]
The great demand means that machine tools are often mass-produced. It is especially important that each machine – whether it is a milling, turning, grinding or drilling machine – is identical with respect to quality and precision.
Harnessed energy chains in automatic medication picking systems face special requirements.
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 […]
