Simple and flexible solution

WITH the easy guide system, Tsubaki
Kabelschlepp has developed a new channel
system for guiding cable carriers as a
simple and flexible solution for standard
cranes which is also suitable for other areas
of application. On workshop cranes with
cable carriers, for example, this omits loose
festoon loops.
The requirements for modern crane
systems are becoming ever more complex.
“The focus is on a long service life and
uninterrupted availability at maximum
load,” said Peter Sebastian Pütz, head of
crane business at Tsubaki Kabelschlepp.
“For the development of our new channel
system, we placed a special focus on the
requirements of standard cranes.”
Easy guide system is a standardised guide
system for cable carriers which is suitable
for trolley power supply and extended
travel lengths of cranes, but also for other
applications involving complete cranes and
crane sets as well as smaller process cranes.
Easy guide system features a space-saving
design as well as simple and fast
installation with few components. The
guide channel is available galvanised or
as a stainless-steel version. It can not only
be installed vertically, but – in contrast to
comparable systems – also horizontally,
and remains flexibly adjustable even after
installation.
The optional roof serves as a climbing
protection, weather protection and
mechanical protection. It also prevents the
cable carrier from falling out or knocking.
This means it has optimum guiding in a
variety of different positions, including
lying on its side.
The system channel requires no
complicated steel structure and is suitable
for all I-beams and box girders. Mounting
holes for the cable carrier and cable
ducts are provided every 850mm. Tsubaki
Kabelschlepp offers the same installation
bracket for different channel sizes or
cable carrier types. Permanently installed
cables can easily be mounted behind
the channel, directly on the bracket, so
that no additional cable conduits are
necessary, saving time and effort during
installation. The system requires only one
installer and can be installed on the fly.
The easy guide system is not only
applicable for cranes, but also for other
areas of application.
“Whether for extended travel lengths or
for longitudinal, crosswise or corner travel
– our system channel can meet a variety
of different requirements, even in rough
environments,”Mr Pütz added.
