More and more companies in crane
technology rely on modern cable guidance with energy chains. With the new
guidefast control e-chainsystem , the motion-plastics specialist igus has now
developed an energy supply system that can also power a manual control on the
indoor crane. Quick and easy to assemble, the guidefast control needs only a
small installation space and can be adapted to the most varied conditions,
thanks to the largest selection of cables for motion.
While e-chainsystems are
increasingly becoming the standard for energy supply on port cranes, they are
also being increasingly used in indoor cranes. The advantages compared to pure
trailing cables are obvious: the e-chain protects the cables inside them; they
are not compressed and are thus safely guided when in motion. This is also the
case for the manual control of the indoor crane, where the new guidefast
control energy chain system safely transmits signals via control cable. A
trough reliably guides the energy chain and cables as well as the moving end
arm, even with a short-term high tensile load. As with the guidefast guide
trough for the cable guidance of the trolley (lifting gear), the guidefast
control can also be installed quickly and easily: in the first step of the
assembly, the guide trough is fastened to the side of the crane girder to save
space. A welding of consoles is not necessary. It is then hooked and bolted
into the support, which saves additional installation time. In operation, the
moving end arm can be easily moved and positioned by the control device along
the entire crane girder, regardless of the position of the lifting gear thanks
to the lubrication-free and maintenance-free xiros polymer ball bearings.
The right cable for every movement
The complete igus guidefast control
system is independent of the crane manufacturer and therefore can be used with
any crane construction or operating device both indoors and outdoors When
selecting the cables, the user can choose from 1,244 chainflex catalogue cables
that have been specifically designed for movement in energy chains. Thanks to
the new high-end cables with outer jackets made of halogen-free TPE, a reliable
operation of the indoor cranes is also ensured under tough conditions, very
long travels or extremely low temperatures down to -35°C, for example in
deep-freeze storage, even with the smallest bend radii. igus guarantees a life
of 36 months on all cables. This is only possible through continuous tests under
real conditions in the igus test laboratory. The results make it possible to
reliably predict the service life and the specific temperatures and bend radii
in which the cable can be safely used.
