In this week’s video, we learn how the P4 roller e-chain is implemented to guide and protect cabling throughout the entire length of the ATC’s travel. The reliable and quiet cable management system is capable of travels up to 800m, while handling heavy fill weights of up to 30kg/m and at speeds of 10m/s.
The tribo-optimised plastic rollers, which are green in colour, are mounted such that the upper run rollers travel past the lower run rollers, not over them. In addition, comb-like crossbars guide the upper and lower energy chains securely.An additional benefit of using the P4 e-chain is that energy consumption is considerably lower, as the required driving force is more than halved, compared to conventional cable management systems.
