Downtime reduced to a minimum
The cable carrier system reduced downtimes to a minimum for the two gantry cranes equipped with gripper robots and also set new standards for power supply within the factory. The entire production line is fully automated and conducted to the farthest end of the facility with these two cranes, which run on rails mounted alongside the hall.
Trailing cables supplied power until 1993. However, this led to repeated operational interruptions. At more or less regular intervals, the entire plant had to be shutdown. The costs involved with doing this were in addition to the cost-intensive maintenance involved with replacing cables.
