New guide trough system for plastic energy chains: Light and resistant to chemicals

By February 14, 2018 11:24 am IST

With the guidelite plus, igus offers a tough, modular trough for applications in electroplating or fertilizer production

The guidelite plus trough system from igus is now made of the new improved material igumid EG+. This ensures high chemical resistance, so that the use of the cost-effective guide trough is ideal for

electroplating and fertilizer production. Thanks to its ultra-light, modular design, assembly is also greatly simplified.

Guidance systems made of metal have known weaknesses: corrosion, complex assembly, high weight and cost. But there is another way. As early as 2015, igus developed the first e-chain guidelite plus from plastic, in order to offer a light, easy-to-assemble and cost-effective guide trough for energy chains on the market. “This year, we have further improved the guidelite plus with a new, extremely chemical-resistant material for the guide trough and matching e-chains,” explains Michael Blaß, authorised officer for energy chain systems at igus. “It has a new closing mechanism and flexible expansion joints that adapt to different ambient and temperature conditions.” With the optimised guidance system made of the igumid EG+ tribo-material, an even lighter and safer alternative to stainless steel and aluminium guide troughs is now available.

Improved assembly with new locking principle

The guidance system made of polymers is very light and can be installed very quickly. During a test installation by igus, fitters were able to install a 30-metre long trough in less than three minutes, thanks to the practical modular assembly method. The side plates are connected by manual clipping and locking without tools. The clamping mechanism specially designed for the system keeps it secure and robust. Modular in design, the guidelite plus EG can be individually

adapted to the respective application and has therefore a universal use in practical terms. Thanks to the fast assembly, working time and costs can be significantly reduced.
