igus Guidelok Slimline provides safe vertical energy supply
FOCUS IN THIS ISSUE: WASTE MANAGEMENT & RECYCLING COVER STORY
In the case of vertically hanging energy chains in handling crane applications, mast heights are getting higher, travels longer and speeds and accelerations are increasing too. In these situations it is possible for an energy chain supplying power and data, to swing out of its normal area of operation. If it then collides with a metal beam or a pallet, chain damage could occur. Now the energy chain expert, igus has developed the Guidelok Slimline (SL) system which retains the chain safely within its track for mast and tower heights of up to 50m
