guidelok horizontal

Upper run guide for long travels, unsupported in swarf areas

Especially in machine tools on long travels, when the energy chain has to be used in a sliding manner, metallic swarf is a problem. guidelok is the cost-effective solution for travels, unsupported up to 50m. The guidelok horizontal is more cost-effective than many steel chains or complex sliding systems.

1. Swarf cannot get stuck between the sliding surfaces of the upper and lower run

2. Modular system with few parts (also possible without lateral trough)

3. Enormous increase in unsupported lengths of energy chains

4. Intelligent upper run guidance with pivoting roller supports

Design principle

The horizontal guidelok guides the upper run of the energy chain on special pivoting roller supports that can fold in the moving radius of the energy chain and guarantee an unobstructed "travel" of the system.

The e-chain® is guided in the trough channel, pushing back the spring loaded roller supports with its radius ...

... roller supports pivot in and out again after the radius ...

... the upper run then lays on the roller supports.

Real-world examples

guidelok horizontal is used in the horizontal lathe of the Spanish machine builder Tornos Gurutzpe S.A. Due to this new design of the guidelok horizontal, no swarf can get stuck between the sliding surfaces of the upper and lower runs of the energy chain.

guidelok horizontal in Deckel Maho milling machines

guidelok system in combination with the R4.112 series is used in 5-axis milling machines. With the guidelok, the heavy hoses and cables are safely guided unsupported and the required 28m long travels can also be implemented without any problems. The energy chain is also designed for high speeds and accelerations, a long service life, and quick and easy installation.
