... for inspiring applications with e-chains® …e-chain systems® with cables…
Modern polymer energy supply chains are the umbilical cord of mechanical engineering and automation These energy chains ensure the safe supply of energy, data, pulses and operating media and are always in motion. They can be used universally – on cranes, machine tools and robots, all the way to Hollywood.Applications of contestants 2014 (PDF)
Cable robot
This cable robot is used in automated high-bay shelving systems.Cable robot
Wall bracket
This wall bracket allows the TV set to be swivelled through 120 degrees. Up to now, cables simply hung loosely and became tangled after several swivelling movements, causing the cables to break.Wall bracket
Labelling machine
This labelling machine takes labels from the stack, applies adhesive and then fixes the labels to the packaging.Labelling machine
Perfect guidance
