Energy chains in CNC machine tools

igus solutions:


DINOMAX To divide the weight of the filling, it was decided to install the energy chains one inside the other. The outer chain guides the cables, while the inner chain guides the hydraulic hoses. Together they carry a filling weight of 24 kg per metre.
 
SPIRIT The Series 5050 e-chains are used in this machine installed as unsupported.
