Cutting machines

Energy chains, cables, and bearings for laser, plasma, and water jet cutting machines

Cutting systems with laser, plasma, or water jet technology are often used to machine metallic and non-metallic workpieces.
The systems are equipped with a large number of cables, including data, control, hydraulic, and energy cables, which must be guided stably but still flexibly enough over the travels that are usually of short to medium distance so as not to restrict machine tool function.
With our energy chains for cutting systems, we focus on reliable solutions that allow quiet operation even at high speeds, fit into tight spaces, and can be installed easily and affordably.
