Cable guide guidelok swing GLO.S

guidelok swing GLO.S.E2i.21.025

For jib cranes with travels of up to 10 metres

Jib cranes are an indispensable part of industry. They transport workpieces of all kinds - to loading ramps, processing machines and assembly stations. However, failures can always occur - for example, when energy and data cables that hang down are damaged by a forklift during workpiece unloading. Consequences are downtime, unplanned repair costs and even production delays. To increase system safety and productivity, igus has developed energy supply system guidelok swing GLO.S. With the guidelok swing GLO.S, energy and data cables no longer hang in the air, but move directly in the jib crane's girder contour.

This is how the guidelok swing GLO.S works

guidelok swing GLO.S
The lower run rests on the T-beam flange and is connected to the trolley. The upper run is held above the trolley by the guidelok swing's rocker elements. Rockers are screwed to the crossbar of the T-beam every 800 millimetres. When the upper run passes, the chain radius pushes the rocker flaps up and engages. In the opposite movement, the flaps open like a trapdoor and release the upper run again. The advantage: low wear and a long service life, as the upper and lower runs never touch.

Real-world examples

SEW-Eurodrive is the first to use the new guide system. The German drive technology manufacturer has equipped an indoor crane with the guidelok swing at its plant in Gauteng, South Africa. The crane moves components for chemical cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. The user has opted for the guidelok swing GLO.S. By using the guidelok swing GLO.S, it was possible to reduce the risk of accidents while increasing the crane's reliability.
