Guide trough ensures high speed energy safety

The guidelite vertical system from igus ensures that vertically moving energy chains in highly dynamic applications are safely held in place while moving at high speeds.

The system’s open design reduces resonance and noise and allows cable system speeds to reach more than 7 m/s.

Prior to this system, closed channels of sheet metal were frequently used for guide troughs. The enclosed design created an echoing body, which amplified an energy chain’s operating noise.

The open design of the igus guidelite vertical system provides a cost-effective, noise-dampening solution and promotes safety, the company says.
