... 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.

Cable robot

This cable robot is used in automated high-bay shelving systems.

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.

Labelling machine

This labelling machine takes labels from the stack, applies adhesive and then fixes the labels to the packaging.

Perfect guidance

The rotary collectors of this woodworking machine were extremely prone to malfunction in the past, and had to be renewed every six months due to damaged electric and hydraulic lines.

Folding sliding blinds

These folding sliding blinds are motor-driven and thus automatically protect entire extensively glazed façades from sun radiation.

Drilling and piling machines

These drilling and piling machines are used in railway construction, for example, to set concrete piles for electric cables.

High frequency welding apparatus

This high-frequency welding apparatus moves in a working area of 8 x 2,5 metres and rotates about 360 degrees.

The system operates very silent now.

This patient positioning and imaging system is used in the radiotherapy.

Edge-jointing unit

This machine connects a CNC machining centre with 5-axis technology to an edge-jointing unit, permitting new design options for furniture.

Pontoon

The service boats of a wind farm operator are prepared for use at this pontoon in Barrow-in-Furness, Great Britain.

Lifting system

The lifting system "Spiralift" is used in theatres and concert halls all over the world to raise and lower parts of the stage, for example.

Tide turbine

Tide turbines generate electricity from fast-flowing water.

Transfer table

This transfer table in the English harbour town of Felixstowe ensures that railway engines are moved quickly to the correct one of eight tracks.

Production machine

The production machine saws, mills and punches aluminium sheets.

Coil crane

On this coil crane, the motor-driven cable drums required a lot of maintenance.

Transporter

This vehicle was especially designed for the transport of windcraft wings.

Plasma cutting machine

This plasma cutting machine cuts metal plates at maximum speed.

Automated warehouse

This warehouse is loaded automatically.

Packaging machines

This packing machine automatically turns single bottles inside the packing into the desired position.

Robots

This robot moves very smooth.

Robots

This robot is intended for space missions.

Crane

This crane transports billets with the help of a magnet traverse in a steelwork.

Galvanization facility

Six transport trolleys move material through the individual stations in this galvanization plant.
