Energy supply systems and bearings for injection moulding machines
The special design of our chainflex cables with strain-relieving core, cores wound in bundles and PVC or TPE outer jackets is ideal for highly dynamic applications, such as the clamping unit with frequent movements and short cycle times. Our e-chains ensure the safe guidance of cable packages. Their design is characterised by simple, fast assembly and a cable-friendly interior - particularly interesting when using hydraulic hoses. In addition to small dimensions for small installation spaces, large unsupported lengths and fill weights; are also possible. Our bearing products made of a wide range of materials score points with lightweight, freedom from corrosion and lubrication, as do drylin linear guides, which, for example, ensure clean sliding of safety doors of the clamping unit.

Advantages of polymer e-chains
High fill weights, accuracy and high temperatures are important factors in energy supply to plastics machines. Our plastic energy chains ensure safe guidance of cables and hoses and also play out their advantages in heavy filling operations:- High fill weights possible
- Circular and pivoting movements possible
- Use in high temperatures
- Resistant to dust, powder deposits and moisture
- Space-saving design

Energy safely guided in high-speed injection moulding machine
Hekuma's high-performance automation systems for the plastics industry operate with cycle times every second. For the energy supply system of the grippers, this means that the first million strokes will be achieved after only four to six weeks - and that with heat, high acceleration and movement in two axes. This is where our chainflex cables and e-chains prove their worth.
Maintenance-free pivot arm mounted in joining station
The company Produtek Weiskopf has two adjacent injection moulding machines in use, in which plastic parts are moulded from three components. The first two components are assembled by a pivot arm in a joining station. Maintenance-free flanged bearings made of iglidur G material ensure that it moves smoothly in the long term.Handling & automation
During material feed, the removal of finished moulded and sprue parts, and insertion into the mould: there are various handling processes around the plastic injection moulding machine for which we offer cost-effective automation products. They make it easy to adapt automation processes, and the investment pays for itself after just a few months.Further information
