autoglide 5 – Energy and data transmission installed in one hour

The igus® autoglide 5 system transfers energy, data, fluids and air safely in a single system. It requires almost no maintenance and is very cost-effective. It includes a 2400.07AG.075.0 e-chain®, steel cable guide, harnessed bus cable with five single cores of 6mm² each.
How does it work?
The metal rope included in delivery is stretched across the floor. Alternatively, guidance via a plastic rope or a profile is also possible. The e-chain® can travel safely on the rope. The underside of the chain links has a guide element in the middle, so that the energy chain can rest safely on the rope. autoglide elements ensure wear-resistant and precise rolling of the upper run of the chain.

Tech up

• Energy, data, air and liquids in ONE system
• Often saves two or more other systems for transmitting data
• 4m/s speed
• 80m travel
• Quiet operation: 63db(A) at 2m/s
• 50% hall floor remains free, no guide trough needed

Cost down

• Assembly times 88% less than for a conventional standard solution with guide troughs
• Ready for installation including e-chain® 2400.07AG.075.0, steel cable guide, harnessed bus cable, and five single cores of 6mm² each
• Available as a harnessed system with cables, hoses and connectors
• Less maintenance and cleaning requirements

Proof

• Tested in the igus laboratory and also by our customer, Company Beewen GmbH, installed
• Suitable for other industries and applications: storage and retrieval units, indoor cranes, port operators, sports facilities, theatres, machine tools, linear robots

Sustainability

• Energy consumption for autoglide 5 manufacture is 64% lower than that of an energy chain with aluminium trough on a 50m travel
• Recycle integrated energy chain via the igus chainge programme free of charge

NEW: Slide profile AG5.RAIL

Design study: The slide profiles AG5.RAIL are mounted - in the area where the chain doesn't move and only serves as a guidance for the upper run - instead of normal chain links. Due to the larger pitch of the AG5.RAIL and the simplified design, the overall system is up to 21% more cost-effective.

• Quick assembly of the plug-in segments
• Better handling in narrow lanes
• Quick fitting of cables
• Flexible infeed of cables
• 2700.AG5.RAIL approx. 31% more cost-effective than standard 2700 series chain with super aluminium trough
• 2700.AG5.RAIL approx. 21% more cost-effective than standard autoglide system series 2700.AG5
• Lower transport costs
• Optional with direct integration of i.Sense EC.P and EC.W​​for predictive maintenance
