Tsubaki Kabelschlepp’s Uniflex Advanced 1775 (UA1775) cable carrier has been expanded with new sizes and features. The quiet, lightweight carrier is used for a wide range of applications, including in automotive production, gantries and axes, intralogistics, material flow and material handling, cranes and machine tool manufacturing, the timber industry, agricultural machinery and commercial vehicles. The UA1775 is available with an inner height of 56mm and in widths between 100 and 400mm for the designs 020 (closed frame), 030 (with outside opening and detachable crossbars) and 040 (with inside opening and detachable crossbars). The durable cable carrier system can be used with or without pre tension and also unsupported and gliding on long travel lengths. The four-part chain links are designed so that the individual parts require only a minimum of storage volume, simplifying logistics and saving resources. With bending radii between 90 and 340mm and a short pitch of 77.5mm, the torsion-resistant design with sturdy chain body ensures low wear. To protect the environment, Tsubaki Kabelschlepp manufactures the cable carrier with up to 35 per cent regranulate.

TS3 divider system, this opens up new areas of application, in particular in machine tool manufacturing and for gliding applications on gantries or axes. The TS3 system features a height separation with intermediate plastic partitions, while the narrow end divider on the outer sides ensures space-saving utilisation inside the cable carrier. The new divider is used for vertical division within the cable carrier as standard. The complete divider system can be adjusted in the cross section and can also be used individually as a lockable TS0. The TS1 version with continuous height separation is another variant. The UA1775 offers simple installation of cables and hoses: the crossbars can be opened and closed quickly, with just two steps in each case. A screwdriver is the only tool required. The crossbar remains attached to the chain link even when open, and therefore can not be lost. Tsubaki Kabelschlepp GmbH www.kabelschlepp.de
