Application potentials for Micro flizz®

In the picture: Storage and retrieval units for high-bay warehouses, indoor cranes, industrial gates, work station equipment.
Other application areas: Sewage plants, camera systems, sliding doors, control cabinets, measuring systems, studio equipment (lighting), materials handling systems.

 
Micro flizz® technical facts

1

Separate upper and lower runs on the flizz® e-chain®,
hence less friction and reduced power consumption in motion

2

"Wings" firmly hold the e-chain® in the guide channel

3

Plastic spring enables the e-chain® to roll softy in the flizz® channel, thereby significantly reducing the noise

4

Integrated strain relief in the carriage for secure fixing of the cables

5

Universal connection through three T-slots possible

6

The e-chain® is fastened at the moving end via the moving end carriage

7

Usable in the counter direction, which means double filling or two separate travels is possible

Micro flizz® details  

Separate upper and lower runs: wings fold in in the radius. e-chain® glides freely

Fold out in the extended condition, the e-chain® firmly holds in the Micro flizz® guide channel

Energy, data, pneumatics in the smallest space. chainflex® cables are optimally designed for this application

 

Polymer spring dampens the rolling noise of the e-chain® in the flizz® channel - thus minimizes noise emission

Micro flizz® accessories: Moving end
connector for compressed air coupling

Potential application area for the micro flizz®: Storage and retrieval units, indoor cranes, etc.

Lower run moves, glides

Before: Lower run moves - glide mode. Long travels require large, stable types of e-chain®

 
Self-guiding e-chain®

Today: Micro flizz® - Small e-chain® self-guiding in the guide channel - Friction reduced by a factor of 3 compared with conventional designs.

Order example - end infeed

Micro flizz® as an end infeed version with a total length of 5000 mm, distributed over 2 channels of 2000 mm each and 1 channel with a residual length of 1000 mm

Bi = e-chains® internal width
R = bending radius [mm]
n= number of channel pieces
S = travel distance = L- 300[mm]
F = field length [mm]
L = total length [mm]
X = remaining length [mm]

MF = Micro flizz® End infeed
06./08.10 = Version(Series)
10./18.50 = e-chains® Inner width
018./035./075 = Bending radius [mm]
5000/2000 = total length / field length [mm]

 

This is how you work out the number of channel sections required (n):
n=L/F
Then round the result down.
 
1 = Fixed end
2 = Moving end (-carriage)
F = Recommended channel length
Bi = Series 06: 10 mm / Series 08: 18 mm / Series 10: 50 mm
hi = Series 06: 11mm / Series 08: 13 mm / Series 10: 20 mm

Order example - 2 carriages running in the opposite direction

Micro flizz® assembled with 2 carriages in opposite directions - total length 10,000 mm, distributed over 2 channels of 3,000 mm each, the infeed module (200 mm) and 2 channel each with a residual length of 1,900 mm.
