drive-chain 2.0
Extreme dynamics and very long travel distances with a wear-free drive
The world's first energy chain system with its own drive, now almost wear-free with a linear motor. For very long travel distances (1,000m and more) with extreme dynamics and long operating times. For next-generation ASCs (automated stacking cranes). The lower mass allows higher acceleration and speed, and the drive-chain 2.0 also offers a much longer service life than do standard energy chain systems.
Tech up
- Virtually wear-free linear drive for even less friction over very long travel distances
- Drive force does not have to come from the powered system (e.g. crane), because the e-chain system has own drive
- Two drive concepts (linear drive & friction wheel drive)
- Significantly higher operation times because there is almost no stress caused push/pull force
- For ASC (Automated Stacking Cranes) next generation cranes
- Higher acceleration & speed possible due to lower mass
Cost down
- Significantly longer service life compared to standard energy chain systems
- Shorter cable lengths, due to central feed, resulting in lower cable costs when purchasing
Proof
- Test setup in the igus laboratory
Sustainability
- 4 - 6t less moving mass on the crane, thus less energy consumption
- igus® has been an investor in Mura Technology from the very beginning and is advancing chemical recycling. From plastic waste to crude oil in 20 minutes.
