Micro flizz® technical facts
1
Separate upper and lower runs on the flizz® e-chain®,
hence less friction and reduced power consumption in motion
"Wings" firmly hold the e-chain® in the guide channel
3Plastic spring enables the e-chain® to roll softy in the flizz® channel, thereby significantly reducing the noise
4Integrated strain relief in the carriage for secure fixing of the cables
5Universal connection through three T-slots possible
6The e-chain® is fastened at the moving end via the moving end carriage
7Usable in the counter direction, which means double filling or two separate travels is possible
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.
Before: Lower run moves - glide mode. Long travels require large, stable types of 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]

This is how you work out the number of channel sections required (n):
n=L/F
Then round the result down.

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.
