Selection table and design data for TwisterChain® guide troughs

New generation TwisterChain® guide troughs

Save installation time, costs - increase service life

With the twister trough type 01 the previously complicated adjustment work is clearly reduced from 6 hours to 2 hours. While reducing noise levels, travel speed can be increased, thanks to an almost all plastic design. Available for all TwisterChain® from the new and previous product range.

Suitable for high dynamics, due to upper run guided on full surface
Gentle and quiet operation in the trough due to continuous upper run guide
Top run is guided in the new plastic trough and supported across the whole width
Pre-assembled delivery possible
Simple adjustment, alignment and handling
assembly time: 2 instead of 6 hours

A = upper run
B = lower run
Few components, simple handling - picture shows a 180° application

Simpler alignment on the robot due to defined angle grid and perforated grid for fixing the height
