autoglide 5 - energy and data transmission installed in one hour
Cost-effective e-chain for intralogistics and crane systems with 88% lower assembly time
The igus® system autoglide 5 transmits energy, data, fluids and air in one system safely and almost maintenance-free at a cost-effective price, including e-chain® 2400.07AG.075.0, steel cable guide, bus cable assembly and 5 individual wires of 6 mm² each. The metal rope included in delivery is stretched across the floor. Alternatively, guidance via a plastic rope or a profile is also possible.
The e-chain can travel safely on the rope. The underside of the chain links has a guide element in the middle, so that the energy chain can rest safely on the rope. autoglide elements ensure wear-resistant and precise rolling of the upper run of the chain.

autoglide 5 Advantages
Until now, many industries, including storage and retrieval systems, have been relying on busbar systems for power and data transmission in tight, compact spaces and for fast lane movements. These are very simple in construction and very cost-effective. Their major disadvantage is that they are expensive to maintain and must be cleaned regularly to avoid contact faults. Furthermore, they can usually only transmit energy.
autoglide5 provides a new solution with the following benefits:
- Can easily be installed in the aisle on a rope or a profile
- Cost-effective price
- 88% shorter assembly time compared to aluminum troughs
- Long-lasting, maintenance-free and easy to clean
- Energy, data, air and liquids in ONE system
- 4m/s speed
- 80m travel
- Quiet operation: 63db(A) at 2m/s
- Hall floor remains free, no guide trough needed
- Available as harnessed system with cables, hoses and connectors
