Video of the Week – AUTO-GLIDE system for E2/000 chains Eliminates the need for guide troughs on long travels

igus® AUTO-GLIDE self-guiding E-Chains® does away with the need for guide troughs, gliding smoothly and safely on top of each other for travel lengths of up to 50m. Now optimised for the igus E2/000 series, with larger gliding surfaces of the AUTO-GLIDE crossbars, longer operating life of the system can be realised. Additionally, the innovatively designed clip-on ‘guide wing’ ensures consistent and safe E-Chain alignment.

The AUTO-GLIDE system operates at speeds up to 1.5m/s and with travels up to 50m long. Since the need for a guide trough is removed, the overall system is more compact and quicker to install than traditional long travel system. It is also available as a half tube, enclosed only on the outer radius.

The igus AUTO-GLIDE system is ideal for use in greenhouses, storage and retrieval units, conveyor systems, indoor cranes, handling systems and many other ‘long travels’.
