The high-performance storage and retrieval machine "viapal" from viastore systems lifts up to 2.000-kilo euro pallets. Since lately complex enclosures could be discarded in energy supply systems. Instead of a continuous steel trough, only trough segments are required every 6.6 feet. Here plastic compensators fix the energy chain. This provides not only operational reliability, but also more noise reduction and reduces material costs. In the event of service, such as when a defective cable must be replaced, the system is also quickly and easily accessible. In vertical energy chains applications, the poles are always getting higher, the travel distances longer, and all at high speeds and rapid accelerations. Especially during fierce lateral accelerations, the energy chain can swing side-ward all of a sudden, for example, in the direction of the shelf structure. If it then strikes a metal carrier
or pallet with too much momentum, a chain breakage is inevitable. To prevent this, the system
"guidelok Slimline (SL)" was developed. In pole and tower heights of 131feet or more, the chain always remains secure
in the track.
