"Guidelok" - Applications

Guidelok horizontal - Metal chips are a problem especially in machine tools for long travels, when the e-chain® must be used in the gliding mode. igus® Guidelok is a cost-effective solution here.
 
Guidelok vertical - Guidelok vertical offers a simple, cost-effective and reliable system solution for vertical applications combined with arising shear forces!

Typical industrial sectors and applications

Horizontal: Machine tools, applications in the chip area
Vertical: Elevators, inclined hoists, shelf access equipment, material handling equipment, etc.

Overview of Guidelok applications:

"Fast" energy supply system for high-performance SRM

Storage and retrieval systems with innovative drive concept that supports previously unattained dynamics and offers many other benefits.

Energy chains for an XXL 3D water jet cutting machine

Energy chains for an XXL 3D water jet cutting machine

Storage and retrieval machine

Due to the relatively high dynamic values, a guidelok slimline F was used for the safe guiding of the energy chain in this storage and retrieval machine with a lifting height of 6 meters.

Storage and Retrieval Units for High-Bay Warehouses

igus® energy chains are used in the storage and retrieval units of the company viastore systems in Stuttgart due to their operational reliability, even more noise reduction and lower material costs.

Cable guidance at high wind speeds on STS cranes

With this ship unloading crane, the entire crane girder moves. e-chains replace the previous festooning system and save the operator time and money.

Unsupported energy chain in the horizontal lathe's chip area

Lathes of up to 20m also result in particularly long travels. A guidelok energy supply system is used here.
