How does the GLO.S work?
The lower run lies on the flange of the T-beam and is connected to the trolley. The upper run is held above the trolley with the aid of rockers, the guidelok swing elements. Rockers are bolted to the crossbar of the T-beam every 800 millimetres. When the upper run passes, the chain radius pushes the flaps of the rocker upwards and engages. In the opposite movement, the flaps open like a trapdoor and release the upper run again. The advantage: low wear and long service life, as the upper and lower runs never touch each other.
How is the system being received? Are there already users?
SEW-Eurodrive is one of the first users of the system. The German manufacturer of drive technology has equipped an indoor crane at its plant in Gauteng, South Africa, with the guidelok swing. The crane moves components for chemical cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. The user has decided in favour of the guidelok swing GLO.S. The use of the guidelok swing GLO.S has reduced the risk of accidents and increased the crane's reliability.
