Successfully used in intralogistics

e-chain, cables, bearings, and sensors in SRUs, picking robots, AGVs, or industrial vehicles.

In our in-house test laboratory as well as in practice: our products are tested for a wide range of loads and have proven themselves in numerous applications in intralogistics. In the following, you can find a selection of customer applications that have already been realised.

Storage and retrieval units

Storage and retrieval unit

AGVs (automated guided vehicles)

 AGV

Application examples for energy chains and cables in storage and retrieval units.

Efficient and fail-safe. As automation in material handling increases, much is demanded of storage and retrieval units. For good handling capacity, empty runs need to be avoided, but high travel speeds are also necessary. Energy chains and chainflex cables are among the systems suitable for high travel performance with guidance for the power supply and a variety of media. Since it is supplemented with optional sensors for condition monitoring, horizontal and vertical retrieval runs can be continuously and reliably made.

Application examples for energy chains, cables, and bearing products in industrial vehicles.

Forklifts, special forklifts, picking vehicles, lift frames ... For industrial vehicles, we offer a wide range of plain bearings, linear bearings, cables, and energy chains designed to withstand high loads, dust and dirt, and vibration. They are all suitable for continuous use and require no lubrication or maintenance.

Application examples for energy chains, cables, and bearings in AGVs and picking robots.

Automatic guided vehicles have become indispensable in large modern warehouses. To work independently, they need durable, low-maintenance solutions. Moving parts in AGVs therefore require slewing ring bearings or plain bearings that need as little lubrication as possible. Our in-house laboratory tests and optional sensors enable us to equip picking robots with energy chains that guarantee planning reliability and long service life.

Application examples for bearing products, energy chains, and cables in conveyor technology.

Product pushers, belt conveyors, overhead conveyor systems, roller conveyors, conveyor belt bearings, knife edge transitions, drive and conveyor chains – conveyor technology systems are diverse. Our wide range of lubrication-free, maintenance-free bearing products such as plain bearings, ball bearings, fixed flange bearings, and knife edge rollers ensures individual material handling solutions.
