By using the ROBOTRAX cable carrier system in combination with the innovative PBU pull back unit from Kabelschlepp Metool, automation expert Keba Industrial Automation was able to set up a realistic technology demonstrator. Reliable cable guiding was a key element of success. International automation expert for machine-integrated robots, Keba Industrial Automation, uses its latest demonstrator […]
The moving gantry units installed by Cimcorp employ cable carriers from Kabelschlepp Metool, making it possible for the cables and hoses to move reliably and safely despite the high accelerations. The moving gantry units are controlled using feed drives, with one installed on each side of the gantry. Thanks to this modular overhead gantry concept, […]
The active pull back unit (PBU) from Kabelschlepp Metool ensures that ROBOTRAX cable carriers are reliably guided and placed. This extends the service life and reduces downtimes. With fast movement sequences and large work envelopes typical in robotics applications, the relatively long carriers can knock against the robot arm. The PBU prevents this by keeping […]
The modern standard from Kabelschlepp Metool is defined by low-emission products that meet high quality requirements. To achieve this, the Wenden-based company developed a truly lightweight, low-noise, and low-dust cable carrier system that is ideal for the kind of clean room applications found in microchip and semiconductor production. QUANTUM has been designed without joints to […]
For manufacturing processes in hygiene-sensitive industries, a particularly low-contaminate environment and technical cleanliness must be ensured. The Flatveyor flat cable system from Kabelschlepp is designed especially for the high requirements of the semiconductor, medical technology, biosciences and pharmaceutical industries. The ‘free-standing’ flat cable system is based on Kabelschlepp’s progressive cable carrier technology. It is a […]
The new size UA1775 cable carrier from Kabelschlepp provides optimum protection and guiding for medium and large cable bundles. The cable carrier system also features particularly smooth running and a long service life. The well-known and popular design of the “quick opening” cable carrier was retained for the new size. The model of the UNIFLEX […]
Industrial robots are on the advance worldwide, and for a good reason: they are very versatile and enable short cycle times in production. But those benefits count for little if they cannot be easily, efficiently and effectively integrated into production lines. German integrator KUK-Automation has been providing robot integration services to customers for many years. […]
