The assembly transport rack for ready-to-install energy supplies

Save up to 80% of process costs during prototyping

 

• Modular supports and struts for a perfect fit
• Telescopic: length adjustment possible at any time
• Indexing mechanism for subsequent attachment of components
• Moving and transporting is child's play due to special travelling units
• Sustainable use of resources: reuse of individual components
• Up to 50% reduction of process costs across the entire process

Everything from one source

The readychain system covers pre-assembled, tailor-made energy chain systems. The plug & play solutions are configured, manufactured and delivered according to individual customer specifications. The use of the assembly rack pays for itself from five systems per year.
 

Flexible components

The telescopic supports and struts of the readychain rack allow flexible adaptation to the installation needs on site. Changes in high-volume production can be carried out without problems. By using modular parts, additional components can also be easily attached to the rack.

Sustainable due to unlimited re-usability

The components of the readychain rack are galvanised and designed for a long service life. Each rack can be constructed within a few hours. The individual elements can be reused in other racks at any time, removing the need to dispose of custom-made parts, such as conventional welded transport racks.

Precisely fitting plug & play

All interfaces and attachments are designed in such a way that the installation of the energy chain can be managed quickly and easily.
The complete package includes the matching plugs and connectors, plates, sensor actuator boxes, linear bearings, links to the central lubrication etc., all reducing the installation time considerably.

Easy transport

The highly durable modular travel units reduce transport time and in addition decrease the handling effort during assembly.
Up to now, forklifts or cranes have been necessary for internal transport and for positioning the complete units.

Minutes instead of days

Complete solution reduces assembly times of machining centres

Normally, machine tool manufacturers try to avoid situations where too many different work steps have to be carried out on a system at the same time. A lot of manual work done by different employees does not automatically enhance efficiency; on the contrary, it increases the probability that errors can occur.
 
By using readychain systems, all four e-chains can be fully installed in half a day. Previously, two employees took one and half weeks for the work on the X-axis of an AERO system and a further week for the energy supply of the Y and Z-axes. In this way, Hartford is able to cut out some work steps, reduce process costs and, at the same time, greatly improve productivity.
