Energy supply systems for the production of electric and hydrogen drives

Energy safely guided – in all directions and with small bend radii

Welding and gluing robots are a main component of the automated production of electric and hydrogen drives. High manoeuvrability and speeds characterise these precise machines. To keep up, each sub-component must fulfil certain requirements. Energy chains mounted on the robot's exterior should be flexible, while protecting cables and material hoses reliably, even when their bend radii are small. The energy chains should also be easy to open so that cables and media hoses can be replaced quickly.

Success stories

E-Chain Automotive Flexweld

Energy safely guided in high-speed sheet feeder

By using linear motor technology, Strothmann GmbH has set new standards in terms of performance and speed. The energy supply with the E6 is perfectly tailored to the high speed and acceleration values and allows a continuous, reliable supply even over longer distances.
