igus guidefast control e-chainsystem

The igus guidefast control e-chainsystem is 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.

The advantages of e-chainsystems compared to pure trailing cables are: 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 chain system safely transmits signals via control cable. A trough guides the energy chain and cables as well as the moving end arm, even with a short-term high tensile load. The guidefast control can also be installed quickly and easily. 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 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 1244 chainflex catalogue cables that have been specifically designed for movement in energy chains. The new high-end cables with outer jackets are made of halogen-free TPE. The company guarantees a life of 36 months on all cables.
