Kabelschlepp
KabelSchlepp manufactures cable and hose carrier systems (energy chains) and machine protection products including way wipers and box-cover wipers. Crane-Controls.com offers KabelSchlepp cable and hose carriers, way wipers, and box-cover wipers for new equipment builds and MRO replacement applications in manufacturing, machine tool, and material handling environments across the United States.
Cable & Hose Carriers
Cable and hose carriers—also called energy chains—guide and protect cables and hoses as they move with machinery and other equipment, preventing uncontrolled movement, excessive bending, and abrasion during repeated travel. Crane-Controls.com offers six KabelSchlepp carrier series, from open-style carriers for standard installations to fully enclosed tube-style designs for applications requiring greater protection from chips, coolant, dust, and debris:
- Conduflex — fully enclosed tube-style carrier with stainless-steel construction, designed to protect cables and hoses in demanding industrial environments where chips and debris are present.
- Uniflex — open-style cable and hose carrier available in a range of standard widths for industrial machinery applications.
- Uniflex BT Tube — enclosed tube-style carrier designed to provide additional protection for cables and hoses in contaminated environments.
- Varitrak S — variable-radius cable and hose carrier for applications where changing travel geometry makes a fixed-radius carrier unsuitable.
- Microtrak — compact, lightweight carrier for installations with restricted mounting space.
- Plastitrak — lightweight, fiber-reinforced nylon carrier with snap-together links for economical cable and hose management and easy assembly or modification.
Way Wipers
Way wipers are replacement scraper blades mounted along machine-tool guideways to remove chips, coolant, and abrasive debris before they reach precision sliding surfaces. Crane-Controls.com offers KabelSchlepp BA and BAS series wipers in 18 mm and 24 mm unmounted-height profiles, available in 1,000 mm lengths.
Box Covers
Box-cover wipers are replacement sealing and wiping elements used on telescopic machine-tool covers. They maintain contact between cover sections and help prevent chips, coolant, and other contaminants from entering the telescoping assembly. Crane-Controls.com offers KabelSchlepp MA series box-cover wipers in 8 mm and 12 mm profiles, along with matching protective strips, in 500 mm lengths.
