Energy chains in the field of automation
In an increasingly digitalized world, companies are striving to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality. The automation of production processes plays a decisive role in this. By using robots, automated machines, and other intelligent systems, companies can increase their productivity and remain competitive. A central component of this automation are energy chains, also known as energy guide chains or cable drag systems.
The function of energy chains in automated systems
Energy chains are specially developed guide systems that serve to safely guide and protect cables and wires. They enable flexible movement of the connected components, whether in linear movements, rotary movements, or complex 3D movements. This is particularly important in automated applications where freedom of movement and precise positioning have a decisive impact. The energy chains protect the cables from external influences such as wear, dirt, or damage, while ensuring a reliable power supply.
Use of energy chains in automation
The use of energy chains in automation spans a wide range of industries and applications. From manufacturing to food processing, energy chains are indispensable components that ensure safe and reliable power supply and cable management in automated systems. Their flexibility and durability make them ideal for use in highly dynamic environments where freedom of movement and precise positioning are critical.
Application in conveyor belt automation
A prominent example of the use of energy chains can be found in the automation of conveyor belts. Conveyor belts are often used in factories and warehouses to transport materials efficiently. Energy chains play a crucial role here by protecting the cables and wires needed to control and power the conveyor belt. The use of energy chains extends the service life of the cables and reduces downtime due to damage.
Energy chains in storage systems for completing machine tools
Furthermore, energy chains are indispensable for the complete automation of storage systems, especially in combination with machine tools. In such applications, materials must be stored, transported, and processed efficiently. Energy chains enable reliable power supply and control in these highly dynamic environments, ensuring the smooth operation of machine tools. They protect cables from damage caused by machine movement, thereby contributing to the overall efficiency of the storage system.
Importance of energy supply systems for the movement of machines
In automation technology, the rule is: “Everything that moves requires energy supply systems.” This statement illustrates the universal importance of energy chains in various applications. Whether in manufacturing, logistics, or other areas where machines and systems are in motion, energy supply systems play a crucial role.
