CNC machining centre for the woodworking industry

energy chain, cable and storage technology for wood processing machines

In CNC machining centres, e-chain® and chainflex® cables can be used in all units to ensure maintenance-free operation and increase downtime. Our energy chains provide optimum protection for cables and hoses, even in dusty and dynamic woodworking environments. Format adjustments can be efficiently solved with the huge drylin® modular linear bearing system. With connected handling robots, triflex® multi-axis energy chains ensure safe operation.

which e-chain® with extender crossbars

PVC-cable in energy chain ​

is not possible? With chainflex® even very well!​

Can expensive PURcables be safely replaced by cost-effective PVCcables, even in moving applications? Decide objectively whether a cable with PVC-jacket is not only sufficient, but may be the better solution.
