Video of the Week – igus Guidelock Slimline FEliminates long trough runs in horizontal and vertical Energy Chain installations
Energy Chain specialist igus has developed its Guidelock range of guiding systems to include the new Guidelock Slimline F. The Guidelock system can be installed both horizontally and vertically and is designed to prevent cables swinging with the movement of the machine and becoming damaged, without the cost of using long runs of trough.
The way the Guidelock Slimline F works is that the Energy Chain is guided through a lightweight aluminium trough containing the igus Guidelock system. This comprises a spring loaded roller support bracket that moves away on contact and springs back afterwards to support the upper Energy Chain run.
There are many advantages to the Guidelock Slimline F system but the main one is that up to 80% less trough is required overall, and the Energy Chain is still protected from extremes of movement; this reduces costs drastically. The Guidelock Slimline F is also a fast and easy solution requiring less installation time and allows easy access for servicing. Debris is less likely to settle between the sliding
surfaces with the Guidelock system meaning that there is less chance of damage to the cables.
A Guidelock Slimline F system is ideal for use in most lifting equipment, but the greatest benefits have been seen on lifts, elevators, storage and retrieval units, cranes and hoists.To watch the Guidelock Slimline F system in action visit: www.igus.co.uk/videos/guidelockslimlineFOr for regular updates follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/igusUK
