Large machine tools

In tool- and mould-making, gantry machine tools allow the machining of large components. This places enormous demands on cable guidance systems, which often reach travels of more than ten metres and must safely move the heavy weights of the various energy and data cables and hydraulic lines.
In order to reliably handle this task even in three-shift operation, seven days a week, we are constantly refining our energy chain systems for machine tools. Maximum system and planning reliability in day-to-day operations are always the focus here.

E4Q energy chain system

• Highly robust and modular
• Optional noise dampeners for quieter operation
• Reduction in material leads to lighter weight

Horizontal upper run guide

• Allows long energy chain travels
• Chips cannot settle between the gliding surfaces

Intelligent connector system

• Strain relief in the housing
• Space-saving due to flat housing
• Connectors adapted to energy chain geometry

Predictive maintenance

• Intelligent software and sensor technology on the e-chain
• Possible maintenance needs reported before failure occurs

Plain bearings for tool changers

• Completely lubrication and maintenance-free plain bearings
• Made of wear-optimised iglidur material
• Calculate service life with online tools

The best price-CABLE ratio

• Four-year guarantee
• Use the price check to always find the cable that costs least and is guaranteed to work
