Typical applications for the guidelok slimeline P include on storage-and-retrieval units in high-bay warehouses, as well as elevators and material-handling equipment.
The guidelok slimeline P dispenses with enclosed metal channel troughs or any other special enclosures, which are often used to prevent the energy chain from swinging, protecting the cables and the chain itself. The energy chain travels between the plastic brackets mounted at 2m intervals; igus claim this reduces costs by up to 80%.
The guidelok slimeline P features two spring-loaded locks that are pushed back as the radius of the energy chain passes between them, moving back into position where they grip the hanging length in place. This is said to provide operational security and also reduce noise.
