White paper: Energy chain with steel-rope guide as an alternative to a busbar?
Up to now, many users have been relying on busbars to supply power to indoor and outdoor cranes, electric trains and storage and retrieval units. A similar price to that of a busbar but with advantages in regard to installation, modularity and maintenance. autoglide 5 combines the best of both worlds. Read more in the white paper "Energy chain with steel-rope guide as an alternative to a busbar?"
User problem:
Your advantages of using autoglide 5:
Up to now, many have been relying on busbar systems for power and data transmission in tight, compact spaces and for fast lane movements, for example in storage and retrieval units. These are very simple in construction and very cost-effective. Their major disadvantage is that they are expensive to maintain, can only be used for power transmission as standard and must be cleaned regularly to avoid contact faults. Furthermore, they can usually only transmit energy.
- Can easily be installed in the aisle on a rope or a profile
- Cost-effective price
- 88% shorter assembly time compared to aluminum troughs
- Long-lasting, maintenance-free and easy to clean
- Energy, data, air and liquids in ONE system
- 4m/s speed
- 80m travel
- Quiet operation: 63db(A) at 2m/s
- Hall floor remains free, no guide trough needed
- Available as harnessed system with cables, hoses and connectors
How does it work?
The metal rope included in delivery is stretched across the floor. Alternatively, guidance via a plastic rope or a profile is also possible.
The e-chain can travel safely on the rope. The underside of the chain links has a guide element in the middle, so that the energy chain can rest safely on the rope. autoglide elements ensure wear-resistant and precise rolling of the upper run of the chain.
Installation instructions
The illustrated assembly aid enables you to assemble the autoglide 5 quickly and professionally.
autoglide 5 for many industries and applications
The autoglide 5 system is not only of interest for storage and retrieval units, mini loads or other applications in material handling. Together with you, we develop concepts and prototypes that can be efficiently realised with the modular design of autoglide 5, the wide range of igus energy chains and cables as well as our experience. What parameters are essential for you? What speed, filling or travel is there in your application? Ask us and together we will develop a solution for your application that lowers costs and improves technology.
FAQ
The basis is the model 2400 with 77mm width and 75mm bend radius. Other widths and radii are of course also possible.
Yes, because the special crossbars can simply be opened. Should they ever wear out, they can be easily replaced.
As with all e-chains, we are aiming for the 10 million cycles or 10,000km. The tests for a guaranteed statement are still running in our laboratory.
We are currently testing the use of a plastic rope.
