Zipper Chain Cable Carrier Applications

Fast opening cable carrier solution


Zipper cable carriers are designed to be opened and closed ultra fast. The "zipper" function drastically shortens installation time by unzipping all the lids in one go. The cable carrier is also suitable for high accelerations.

Typical applications include:

  • Automatic insertion machines
  • Semiconductor devices
  • Linear motors
  • Handling systems
  • Measuring devices
  • Machine tools
