The company Rail & Tracking Systems builds camera movement systems for indoor and outdoor use. A product highlight is the Trackrunner series: these are camera carriages for fast movements that are used particularly in sports competitions, but also in many other event areas such as concerts, fashion shows or TV shows. When recording HD TV, it is necessary to connect the camera and broadcast vans with fibre optic cables. During the camera movement
, speeds of up to 14m/s with
short acceleration times occur. In order to ensure the greatest possible reliability, the cable guidance system must be able to cope with
long travels,
cornering,
rain, UV radiation and
temperatures over 45°C. The solution: Our
E6 series energy chains that are as light as they are durable.
The application received the silver
vector award from igus in 2008.
