Special energy supply system solutions for machine tools

Use of energy chains in machine tools for special application types

Other interesting applications at a glance

Energy chains in machines for micro-assembly of electrical components

Häcker Automation GmbH manufactures micro-assembly machines and uses our e-chains and cables for 20 million movement cycles a day.

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.

Wear-resistant spherical and linear bearings in Niles Simmons machine tools

Today, lightweight, robust, dry-running polymer bearings are installed in a wide variety of locations in Niles Simmons machine tools and machining centres.

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.

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 guide systems in EME Parker linear actuators

The drylin N linear plain bearings with high continuity and good sliding and friction properties were installed in the linear actuator LCB from Parker EME.

Compact energy chains in Alzmetall machining centres

For tight bend radii at high travel speeds, the GS series from Alzmetall, a machine manufacturer, uses our energy chains.

Machine tool door
