Practical examples of energy chains

Energy chains are used in various industries and applications for supplying energy, data and liquids to moving appliances safely and reliably. Examples include cranes, machine tools, woodworking machines, operating devices for high-bay warehouses, bulk goods cranes, drilling rigs, platform technology, industrial robots and laboratory technology. Such equipment is constantly in motion and has to function reliably in difficult ambient conditions as well as under high loads and at great speeds. Selected successful projects: space-saving rol e-chains in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, energy chain E4.350 in the bridge of the silt-processing plant in Antwerp, energy chain E2/000 in stamping and bending machines at Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, energy chain P4.1 on STS crane at the port of Rotterdam, autoglide 5 in use at Gebhardt Intralogistics, e-loop in Akita drilling rigs, e-spool spring cable drum without slip ring in event hall.

Where do you find energy chains in everyday life?

• In woodworking machinery
• In machine tools
• In crane systems
• In robots
• In steelworks etc.
