... for inspiring applications with e-chains® …e-chain systems® with cables…

Modern polymer energy supply chains are the umbilical cord of mechanical engineering and automation These energy chains ensure the safe supply of energy, data, pulses and operating media and are always in motion. They can be used universally – on cranes, machine tools and robots, all the way to Hollywood.

Cable robot

This cable robot is used in automated high-bay shelving systems.
Cable robot

Wall bracket

This wall bracket allows the TV set to be swivelled through 120 degrees. Up to now, cables simply hung loosely and became tangled after several swivelling movements, causing the cables to break.
Wall bracket

Labelling machine

This labelling machine takes labels from the stack, applies adhesive and then fixes the labels to the packaging.
Labelling machine

Perfect guidance

The rotary collectors of this woodworking machine were extremely prone to malfunction in the past, and had to be renewed every six months due to damaged electric and hydraulic lines.
Perfect guidance

Folding sliding blinds

These folding sliding blinds are motor-driven and thus automatically protect entire extensively glazed façades from sun radiation.
