    Please describe your system/machine/project. What function does your application serve?
    We use Igus cables carriers on Wheelift transporters, specifically the wheel modules. The wheel modules are located under the transporter deck and provide omni-directional precision movement control while having the capacity to lift and transport payloads of 50 tons or more.
    All transporters are equipped with an articulating axle. Hydraulic cylinders provide rotation, lift and suspension. The hydraulic cylinders create a leveling suspension, suited to transport heavy payloads. All the wheel modules work together to provide a compliant suspension capable of leveling the load throughout the move.
    Servomotors and gearboxes drive the wheel modules. Servomotors can drive the wheels forward or reverse allowing each wheel module to rotate on its own centerline and be independently driven in any direction. Wheel module driving directions are selected using a remote control.
    Where is your application used? In which industry?
    Our Wheelift transporters are being used by NASA, the DOD, in naval shipyards, the nuclear industry, the aerospace industry, heavy industry and more.

    What are the environmental conditions at the end user’s location? What challenges did you have to overcome to adapt to those conditions? (Feel free to provide technical data on speeds, acceleration, and travel distance).
    The transporters are used in dry docks and around shipyards in damp and salty environments. They are also used to transport items outdoors and inside nuclear and industrial plants. The Igus solution we are using performs equally well in all of the environments we have transporters in.
    What requirements did the energy chains and cables have to fulfil?
  • Cost reduction
    • How were you able to increase the efficiency of your application with the igus® products? Have you been able to reduce costs?
    Efficiency of the application was not an expected benefit but improved service lift is expected. Reduced labor costs are anticipated based on reduced assembly time with purchasing the cable carrier and cables as a complete unit ready to mount and plug in.
    Which products do you use?
    • Energy chain(s) (2500-03-100160) and a triflex cable carrier (TRE-50-080-0-B)
    • chainflex® cables • Cable: CF280-UL-H101-15-04-D • Cable: CFPE-60-01 • An additional cable from an outside vendor
    • Harnessed (readycable®/readychain®)
    At which points? How did the products solve your problems?
    The Igus assembly we buy solves several issues for us.
    • Our wheel modules can rotate and lift, and we needed a cable carrier that could handle both motions in a small envelope. We use a series 2500 cable carrier to handle the rotation and the triflex TRE-050 cable carrier to handle the vertical motion. It is important to note that a typical cable carrier would not work for this vertical motion due to lack of space.
    • These two cable carriers allow us to achieve a higher reliability.
    • The Igus assembly saves our shop build time. It comes pre-assembled, so our shop can focus on other parts of the build.
    What alternative solutions did you consider?
    Attaching a cable carrier to a hinged mount to try and to get both rotation and vertical motion out of one typical cable carrier.
    Does your application contribute to sustainability?

    Figur G15 is the first commercial platform of its kind to shape sheet metal on demand directly from a digital file. An high speed ceramic tool on an XY gantry forms the sheet with up to 800kg of force in a highly engineered and proprietary build zone.

    Figurs patent-pending Digital Sheet Forming (DSF) technology eliminates the need for a traditional stamping press or custom tools, molds, and dies – delivering sheet metal forming that is accessible, flexible, and cost-effective, even at low volumes.

    Where is your application used? In which industry?
    Figur technology is being sought out by many industries that traditionally use stamping to form sheet metal. Current customers are in automotive, aerospace, architecture and many others. Our technology has the ability to forgo the need to produce traditional dies. This saves on both lead time and expense, allowing customers to economically create complex sheet metal parts. With the flexibility to make a single part or achieve volumes into the thousands, the Figur G15 is versatile for both prototyping and production.
    What are the environmental conditions at the end user’s location? What challenges did you have to overcome to adapt to those conditions? (Feel free to provide technical data on speeds, acceleration, and travel distance).
    The Figur G15 is designed to be a shop floor machines tool, designed to be installed alongside other metal processing machinery. At the same time – the Figur digital sheet forming process makes minimal sound, so when choosing various components the goal was to keep sound and vibration to a minimum. The Figur G15 forms sheet materials at 1 m/s, with accelerations typically around 1G, and up to 3G. Machines travels are 1450mm x 1000mm, and within a single 8 hour shift the machine can travel 20+km.
    What requirements did the energy chains and cables have to fulfil?

    What are the environmental conditions at the end user’s location? What challenges did you have to overcome to adapt to those conditions? (Feel free to provide technical data on speeds, acceleration, and travel distance).
    The weather will play a big role in the conditions, ranging from hot and sunny to cold and rainy. The ground could be hard and uneven to soft and muddy.

    We have overcome many things to adapt Teletrax to these. We have put the operator in a fully enclosed air conditioned cab so they are not out in the harsh elements that a present at the many sites it will be on. Teletrax is hybrid, so on those days where the hvac is need just sitting at an idle we do not need to run our diesel generator to keep the operator cool or warm. This makes us one of the few machines that will meet the california idle laws.

    With the track design we have put on our machine any ground conditions do not pose an issue to us, we can climb over hard uneven surfaces or dedge through thick mud with ease.

    What requirements did the energy chains and cables have to fulfil?

    Please describe your system/machine/project. What function does your application serve?
    RAYHAWK is an intelligent gantry system that utilized computer vision and various control algorithms to open and close top loading railcar equipment. RAYHAWK delivers a safer, more efficient way of loading railcars within loadout facilities. As a safety driven project designed to function in corrosive environments and in the temperature range of -40°C to 40°C, RAYHAWK eliminates the need for workers on top of railcars in a variety of industries.
    Where is your application used? In which industry?
    RAYHAWK can be used in the mining and agricultural industries. RAYHAWK will change the industry of material loading.
    What are the environmental conditions at the end user’s location? What challenges did you have to overcome to adapt to those conditions? (Feel free to provide technical data on speeds, acceleration, and travel distance).
    RAYHAWK currently operated in the corrosive environment of a potash mine loadout facility in Saskatchewan, Canada. Weather ranges from -40°C to 40°C and RAYHAWK functions throughout these ranges. Fine particles of dust from the loading of potash enter into the RAYHAWK area and can collect on surfaces of travel and other components of the RAYHAWK. Condensation can form on surfaces during specific seasons and exaggerate the corrosive effects of the potash. The gantry unit operates in the axis (X, Y, Z) and has calculated speeds and accelerations to optimize performance. In the X direction we have a top speed of 1500mm/s with accelerations up to 1000mm/s^2 and a travel distance of 16m, Y has a top speed of 1000mm/s and an acceleration of 1000mm/s^2 with a travel distance of 3m and Z has a top speed of 500mm/s with an acceleration of 1000mm/s^2 and a travel distance of 1.2m. The design of RAYHAWK took into consideration all of these harsh conditions to overcome them. A variety of energy chain designs were utilized to allow the operation of a RAYHAWK unit. The X energy chain (E4-32) hosts power, encoder and communication cables for the system. This energy chain functions as a gliding energy chain and has a slotted trough to allow for the collected dust particles to fall through. The dirt repellent design also allows for the smooth continued operation of the system. The Y energy chain functions as an unsupported energy chain and also hosts power, encoder and communication cables. Similar to X, the dirt repellent design of the E4-32 energy chain has overcome the challenges that the potash particles have created. The Z axis cable chain is vertically mounted and utilizes the e-chain series 2400 energy chain. All energy chains allowed for the easy installation of cables and reliable operation of the RAYHAWK unit in the environmental conditions of the loadout facility. In addition to the careful selection and design of the energy chain systems, all RAYHAWK components are suited for their environment. Cabinets are sealed and made of specific materials to ensure they do not corrode. Sensitive components are heated to ensure their proper function and in areas that cannot be heated, components are selected to fit the temperature requirements of site.

    Does your application contribute to sustainability?
    RAYHAWK contributes to various areas of sustainability. In terms of ecological sustainability we are a completely isolated electrical system that does not add any pollutants to the operating environment. From an economic health standpoint we can improve throughput of loadout facilities, better helping companies meet quotas and load railcars more effectively. From a human perspective we remove the need for operators on top of railcars, reducing the risks during operation. RAYHAWK also operates 24/7 365 meaning staff do not need to work on top of railcars during the night or be called in for shifts at inconvenient times.
    Was there co-operation with igus®? If so, how was it?
    Igus was very helpful during the design of the RAYHAWK system. They gave our engineering team the resources and support to successfully design and implement a energy chain system. Their extensive knowledge of their products and expertise guided us through each step of this project.
