Applications with rotating energy supply RBR and rotary applications in machine tools

Circular motion with RBR

Circular motions can be implemented with various energy chain solutions

Rotating applications with twisterband

7,000° and more horizontal rotating motion, and up to 3,000° in the vertical installation position

Tooling machine

Chip protection in tight work spaces in a machine tool.

Woodworking

Flexible machining of wooden materials with rotations around the own axis for up to 1440 degrees.

Applications with E4 energy chains in machine tools

The standard energy chain construction kit

for nearly all applications - 4-piece

Applications with Series E4.1 for high weights

Wood industry

The igus® preassembled energy chains create a lasting, low-wear connection to the tools.

Lathe and grinder with durable energy chains

Top condition even after 9 years - Preassembled energy supply systems for precision machines working under tough environmental conditions

Streetcar switches

The applied material repels chips with temperatures up to 850° C without leaving a trace.

Reliable energy supply system in a gear grinder in a tight installation space

This application showed that a vertical stroke of more than one metre and a swivellingrange of 270° can be implemented in the limited installation space of the grinding headin a gear-grinding machine.

High-temperature energy tube as an energy supply system in a CNC machining centre

Resistant to temperature and chemicals, the e-tubes withstand the ubiquitous flying chips, for example. They ensure flawless machine tool operation.

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.

Applications with E2 energy tubes in machine tools

E2 R - two-piece e-tubes for chip protection and very smooth operation

e-tubes can be used in areas with hot chips, dirt, and dust

Applications with E2/000 in machine tools

Textile machines

Energy supply systems for knitting machines provide for quality and flexibility.

Tooling machine

Chip protection in tight work spaces in a machine tool.

Applications with E6 energy chains in machine tools

Energy chain E6 - rugged, quiet, low-vibration, cleanroom compatible

Quiet, low-vibration energy supply system for a dynamic machining centre

In this application, a two-spindle horizontal machining center was equipped with particularly silent and low-vibration energy supply systems.

Low-maintenance cable guidance in CNC grinding machines, encountering oil and chips

Neither accumulating grinding residues nor the oils used can impair energy supply to this Cinetic Landis machine tool.

Durable energy chains in cutting tools for continuous operation

Several plastic energy chains ensure cable guidance at high travel speeds and accelerations in Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH cutting machines.

Robust cable guidance for dynamic Bystronic laser cutting machines

Because of the extremely high demands on dynamics and the high lateral accelerations, the energy chain has to be stable, robust, and not too heavy.

Applications with readychain® harnessed energy chains and chainflex® cables in machine tools

readychain® harnessing

chainflex® cables

Quickly installed energy chain in a Waldrich Coburg gantry milling machine

Pre-assembled energy supply systems for machine tool construction saved several weeks of assembly time in this application.

Special machine construction

Energy supply systems demonstrate their reliability even in particularly aggressive environmental conditions in special-purpose machinery construction.

Robust cable guidance for dynamic Bystronic laser cutting machines

Because of the extremely high demands on dynamics and the high lateral accelerations, the energy chain has to be stable, robust, and not too heavy.

Streetcar switches

The applied material repels chips with temperatures up to 850° C without leaving a trace.
