Examples for successful applications in the machine tools sector
Special energy supply system solutions for machine tools
Use of energy chains in machine tools for special application typesenergy chains® for microassembly
Extreme demands on availability and durability
3D plasma cutting heads
Having the ability to move in all directions, 3D energy chains permit axes to swivel continuously.
Machining centre
The highest possible flexibility when milling and drilling in a single step.
Combination machines
The manufacturer relies on the very thick RX-tube for supply so that the performance data of the universal machine for milling and drilling remains correct in the long run.
Energy Chains® for long travels
This horizontal turning machine is equipped with the new Energy Chains® solution Guidelok for long, unsupported travels in the chip area.
CNC machining center
High-temperature energy tubes for CNC machining centers withstand high temperatures and defy the ubiquitous flying chips.
CNC-Machining centre
Lightweight, robust and do not require polymer bearings are installed in machine tools and machining centres across a large range of industries.
Machining center
The focus here was on protecting the cables from dirt, chips and coolants during fast movements.
Multi-spindle machining center
In this application, a two-spindle horizontal machining center was equipped with particularly silent and low-vibration energy supply systems.
Machining center
Top condition even after 9 years - Preassembled energy supply systems for precision machines working under tough environmental conditions
CNC grinding machine
Incidental grinding residues and the used oil cannot influence the energy supply systems.
Gear-grinding machine
This application showed that a vertical stroke of more than one metre and a swivellingrange of 270° can be implemented in the limited installation space of the grinding headin a gear-grinding machine.
Cutting tool
The igus® E-Chain® E6 demonstrates its strengths inthe case of this cutting tool.
Machine tools
The modules are made of a cable-preserving plastic with high frictional resistance.
Laser cutting machines
Due to the extremely high demands on the dynamics, the energy chain had to be stable, rugged and not too heavy. The chain experiences very high cross accelerations especially on the Y axis.
Streetcar switches
The applied material repels chips with temperatures up to 850° C without leaving a trace.
Machine tool manufacture
From special design to standard model - Preassembled energy supply systems reduce the costs in machine tool making in the long term.
Machining center
The ready-to-install assembled energy supply system is perfectly aligned to the high demands of the machine tool industry.
Wood-sawing machines
Unlike in former times, the Homag-Sawtech AG has virtually no more complaints.
Special machine construction
Due to the technical requirements of the milling machine, only those energy chains are considered that fulfill the complex requirements due to the high rates of feed and the bending radii.
Applications with ReadyChain®
ReadyChain® in various industries and applications
Machine tool manufacture
Plastic plain bearings in application in machine tool manufacture at Deckel Maho Gildemeister.
Standing installation
High accelerations also possible in "standing" installation.
Vibration reducing
The special structure of the chain link and the small division grant an extremely quiet and low-vibration operation of the chain.
Conveyor chain
Application of DryLin® W for the guidance of a conveyor chain for goods.
Filling-shoe mechanism in a compaction unit
Application of DryLin® R linear plain bearings for a filling shoe mechanism of a compaction unit.
Positioning of milling heads
The positioning of milling heads is done with DryLin® SHT linear slide table in this plant which manufactures aluminum window frames.
Grinding machine
Application of DryLin® T for adjustment of the pressing roller and the compensation of the imbalance of the grinding tools.
Parting-off grinder
Application of DryLin® R for the guidance of the cutting table
Electrical actuator
For extremely varied format adjustments: DryLin® SHT spindle lift table.
Toothed belt unit with guide system
The toothed belt unit with the DryLin® N guide system is suited for highly dynamic applications.
Door guide of machine tools
Smooth and silent operation due to DryLin® in the doors of the machine tool.
Tool changer chain
The enormous cost advantages compared to standard commercial metallic rolled bushings as well as an extreme resistance to wear distinguish iglidur® D.
Mounting station
The pivoting and linear feed movement is implemented by means of DryLin® linear guides and igubal® spherical bearing components.
Concrete pipe cutter
Concrete cutting machine in extremely heavy-duty operation since three years free of maintenance.
CNC automatic lathes
Pre-assembled E-ChainSystems® increase machine availability in CNC automatic lathes.
Milling machine
Another great project with five students is under way at the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb), Technical University of Munich.
