Cable carrier

Until then flexibles such as cables and hydraulic hoses had simply been allowed to hang loose from machines, resulting in damage and rapid wear.

Cross bars along the length of the carrier can be opened from the outside, so that cables can be easily inserted and plugs connected.

In combination with rigid mounting of the ends of the carrier, this can entirely prevent the enclosed cables from flopping in undesired directions and becoming tangled or crushed.

Cable carriers are used anywhere where there is moving automation involving the transferral of energy, data, liquids or gases.

Examples include machine tools, cranes, car washes, medical and laboratory equipment, automatic warehousing, forklifts, industrial robots, offshore oil rigs and stage technology.
