When a gantry crane
manufacturer's festoon
systems were failing due
to corrosion, the company
switched to igus Energy
Chains cable carriers on
its gantry cranes.
The chain system is mounted horizontally on each machine where it guides and protects more than 75m of power cables. The cable carriers are said to deliver a long service life even in the dusty, humid environment found in paper mills, coping with ambient temperatures that can peak at 50°C, and with up to 100% humidity.
Chains have openable crossbars for easy access to the cables.
