In Thyssen Krupp’s Duisburg hot rolling mill, a slab transport crane from BANG Kransysteme GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for handling the slabs at the interface between the steelworks and the rolling mill - in heat and dust. The supply of energy and signals to the trolley and cab is ensured by heavy-duty igus energy chains supplied pre-assembled as basic readychain systems.
This crane transports billets in a steel mill using a magnetic beam. For the power supply of the slewing gear, the developers are using a triflex series e-chain instead of the previous conductor rail.
In the harsh environment of concrete processing, energy supply systems contribute to the stability and reliable function of indoor cranes.
In the Eschweiler waste incineration plant, the existing trailing cables were replaced by an energy chain that was developed for use under adverse environmental conditions.
Containers containing liquid metal are transported in a foundry using these three cranes. The hot environment and high levels of contamination placed severe demands on the cable guidance.
In this coil crane, the motor-driven cable drums required a high level of maintenance. That is why they were replaced by our e-spool system.
The manufacturer Piedmont Hoist and Crane in the USA opted for the convenient guidefast modular guide trough system for a gantry crane.
A single girder crane is a type of overhead crane that consists of a single bridge girder supported on two end trucks. It includes a hoist that moves along the bridge.
Yes, igus e-chains are designed for high-speed and long-travel applications. They can achieve speeds up to 6m/s and travel distances up to 100 meters, making them suitable for demanding crane operations.
Single girder cranes are usually designed for lighter loads compared to double girder cranes. Common load capacities range from 1 ton to 20 tons, depending on the specific model and manufacturer.
igus e-chains offer several benefits over traditional busbar systems, including lower maintenance requirements, the ability to handle multiple types of cables (power, data, and fluid), reduced wear and tear, and increased operational safety.
igus e-chains enhance safety by encasing cables within a protective carrier, reducing the risk of cable damage and electrical hazards. Additionally, they offer solutions like ESD materials for hazardous environments, further ensuring safe crane operations.
Single girder cranes are typically more cost-effective and easier to install than double girder cranes. They are also lighter in weight, which can reduce structural requirements and costs.
igus e-chains can improve performance by providing a reliable and maintenance-free solution for cable management. They help reduce downtime and increase operational efficiency by securely guiding power, data, and fluid cables in one compact system.
