CNC machining centre for
the woodworking industry


Energy chains, cables and bearing technology for wood-processing machines

In CNC machining centres, e-chains® and chainflex® cables can be used in all units for a maintenance-free operation and long service life.
Our energy chains provide perfect protection for cables and hoses, despite the large amount of dust and high dynamics in wood processing. Format adjustments can be efficiently solved with the huge drylin® modular linear bearing system. With connected handling robots, triflex® 3D robot energy chains ensure safe operation.
