Cable guide guidelok swing GLO.S
For jib cranes with travels of up to 10 meters
Jib cranes are an indispensable part of industry. They transport workpieces of all kinds - to loading ramps, processing machines and assembly stations. However, failures can always occur - for example, when energy and data cables that hang down are damaged by a forklift during workpiece unloading. Consequences are downtime, unplanned repair costs and even production delays. To increase system safety and productivity, igus has developed energy supply system guidelok swing GLO.S. With the guidelok swing GLO.S, energy and data cables no longer hang in the air, but move directly in the jib crane's girder contour.
Tech up
- Very slim, space-saving design
- Long service life due to safely guided cables
- No cable loops hanging down
- More space between crane girder and energy chain (8-19mm), allows larger bend radii
Cost down
- Cost-effective – without the need for any guide troughs
- Save installation time
Proof
- Tests in the igus laboratory and in the factory
- In use at the igus factory
Sustainability
- Recycle previously installed energy chains for free through the igus® chainge recycling program. No matter what manufacturer.
Technical data
Real-world examples: SEW-Eurodrive is the first to use the new guide system.
The German drive technology manufacturer has equipped an indoor crane with the guidelok swing at its plant in Gauteng, South Africa. The crane moves components for chemical cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. The user has opted for the guidelok swing GLO.S. By using the guidelok swing GLO.S, it was possible to reduce the risk of accidents while increasing the crane's reliability.
