Energy supply
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 […]
Guidelite ECO: Part 1 For vertical energy supply in intralogistics such as storage and retrieval units, lifters and other lifts, the energy chain is still preferred to the busbar system. The travel or stroke lengths are generally less than 50 metres – usually much less. The question is this: which costs less? Busbar system or […]
What do you do with old plastic energy chains?! Plastic recycling programme for energy chains In most factories, the usual procedure is to remove energy chains from the machines and throw them into industrial waste skips. Often the plastics are subsequently incinerated. Recycling of the chains rarely occurs, as the cost of separating the different […]
Generic terms The term e-chain is closely related to the terms drag chain, energy chain and energy supply system or energy guiding chain or even cable guidance systems. The e-chain describes a product which safely carries cables or even hoses, over a certain distance. They ensure the dependable supply of energy, data and signals while […]
On many construction machines, the height of the driver’s cabin is adjustable so that the operator can see the working space better or completely – the company Sennebogen uses this solution on many of its material handling machines. To automatically adjust the cabin, all required hoses and electrical cables are guided in one energy chain. […]
