Robust energy chain system
June 1st 2009 According to igus, curved
track gantry and transfer
systems open up new
possibilities in the field of
factory automation. With
such systems, a standard
energy chain ensures safe
cable guidance right from
the start – even at
maximum loads.
In one example, a system
for the automated loading
of truck crankshafts for
DaimlerChrysler AG in
Mannheim uses an igus
energy system. The standard
energy supply system from
the 'E4/4' family is highly
robust and offers a long
service life.
Claimed to be Ideal for
this type of complex
application, 'E4/4' is said to
be particularly effective
where long travel distances
are required and for
unsupported side mounted
situations. More articles from igus (UK) Limited: |
