Vertical standing arrangement

For machine tools, linear robots and handling units, standing energy chains are one of the standard solutions. For units that move vertically, such as lead screws, to be reliably supplied with energy, signals and media (compressed air, hydraulic oil, coolant), cables and hoses are protected and guided in energy chains. The standing energy chain application is probably the second most frequent arrangement after the vertical. This makes it all the more important to offer users these nine tips to support the project planning.

A new installation features six stations, each with two welding robots. To ensure reliable cable guidance, the design engineers used the standing E4.56 energy chain. It ensures high stability and optimum protection against swarf.
