FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A COMPANY FOUNDS AN INDUSTRY

Founded in 1954 KABELSCHLEPP GmbH is the original inventor of the chain style cable and hose carrier system.  Today,  more than 100,000 variants of cable carrier systems with cable drag chains made of steel and/or polymers, special cables for cable carriers, conduits and accessories make part of the product range.

Plastic cable carrier for every application

Plastic cable drag chains are suitable for high accelerations and high travel speeds due to their low intrinsic weight. A sliding operation is possible for long travel lengths. Cover systems, i.e. completely enclosed types offer optimum protection of the guided cables and hoses.

Necessary characteristics which are just required for wood working machines.

The quality of all parts of the cable carrier system is responsible for long service life, highest operational safety and reduced costs. Decisive is the correct selection of the cable carrier with cable/hose separation and end connectors. KABELSCHLEPP systems guarantee an optimum adaptation to your individual requirements. The product range includes open and enclosed cable drag chains, silent, lightweight and space-saving.

KABELSCHLEPP cable carriers with variable width in millimeter steps offer an optimum adaptation of the cable carrier width to your installation situation.

Cost effective variety: Versatrax (Uniflex)

A cost effective standard product series completely made of plastic is the VERSATRAX/UNIFLEX-series. Open, partly enclosed and completely enclosed types are offered.

Through connecting profiles and protection covers an efficient installation of cables and hoses is possible. The strain relief elements which are integrated in the end connectors offer a save fixation and strain relief of the cables.

 

The multi-variable cable carrier: M-series

A further example for the individuality of the Kabelschlepp product range of plastic cable carriers is the M-series: Variable width in 1, 8 or 16 mm steps. The plastic chain bands are connected by plastic / Aluminum stays or by covers which are variable in width and build the cross section for the cables. The M-series is extremely solid due to a solid design of the chain plates and a link stop system which is encased and insensitive to dirt. The cable drag chains can quickly be opened from both sides. A big variety of stay systems and possibilities of separation completes the supply program.

Changeable high abrasion resistant slide shoes result in optimum friction conditions, minimum wear and long service life.

For optimum protection of cables and hoses against e.g. wood shavings KABELSCHLEPP developed the RDD – plastic cover system. A system which can be opened to both sides. The covers can be supplied in variable width in 8 or 16 mm steps. Also the RMD - Aluminum-cover system can be opened to both sides. These covers and therefore the complete cable drag chains can be supplied in individually width in 1 mm steps.

With the extended frame stay RMA it is possible to guide cables/hoses with a diameter bigger than the inside height of the chain links. The extended stay can either be inside or outside the bend radius, as required.

Further products are the Mono Series PLASTITRAK, MICROTRAK, VERSATRAX series, the K-series and the cable carrier systems QUANTUM, PROTUM and ROBOTRAX.

With the extremely silent and lightweight cable carrier system QUANTUM extreme accelerations (up to 30 g) and travel speeds (up to 40 m/s) can be realized. The link free design guarantees a vibration free operation.

With the 3D movable cable carrier ROBOTRAX the cable carrier on robots is more serviceable than ever. The cables are simply pressed into the open system design. All cables can always be controlled and even separately be replaced.

The special cables/hoses LIFELINE for use in cable carriers developed by KABELSCHLEPP complete the supply program.

Furthermore the company offers 2D- and 3D-CAD-data of the cable carriers in the Internet .
