What systems does igus offer for the machine tool’s X-axis?
Volker Beissel | 25. March 2020
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 systems that have proven themselves include the E4/4 series rol e-chain, the ultra-fast P4 system and our guidelok horizontal. The width, height and radius of the individual systems can be configured individually, of course, and the service life calculated.
