Product catalog summary

Introduction
Hennig Worldwide has been a leader in chip and coolant management, machine protection, and facility safety since 1950. The company is dedicated to creating safe and efficient workplaces for manufacturers globally, contributing to local communities, and supporting machine tool customers.

Product Overview
Hennig offers a variety of cable carriers, including plastic and steel options, designed to protect cables, hoses, and electrical lines on machinery. These carriers are suitable for applications in robotics, textile industries, and water treatment plants. Plastic carriers are favored for their chemical resistance and cost-effectiveness, while steel chains are used for heavy payloads.

Plastic Cable Carriers

Applications: Robotics, paper production, handling, textile industries, transportation, and wastewater treatment plants.
Travel Distance and Speed: Maximum travel distance is double the free carrying length, with no general limits on travel speed or acceleration.
Special Variants: Silent running, EX-protection, anti-static, and self-extinguishing options are available.

KOL Plastic Systems
The KOL series offers various types of plastic cable carriers with features such as openable flaps, rigid versions, and telescopic types. Dimensions and specifications vary across models, providing options for different application needs.

Specifications

Dimensions: Provided in inches and millimeters, listing various types of cable carriers with specific measurements for pitch, height, width, and weight.
Materials: Constructed with durable plastic sidebands and options for plastic or aluminum frame stays.
Temperature Range: Operates in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 100°C (-4°F to 212°F).

Assembly Instructions

Opening and Closing: Instructions for using a screwdriver to open and close the flap stays and covers.
Lengthening and Shortening: Describes how to adjust the length of the cable carriers by manipulating the pivot pins and chain links.
Installation: Flap stays can be installed before or after cable lining, with details on the snap assembly process.

Features and Applications

Durability and Versatility: The PKK system offers robust construction with various frame stay options for enhanced strength and wear resistance.
Easy Assembly: Design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, minimizing downtime.
Applications: Suitable for robotics, handling, machine tools, and textile industries.

Performance Parameters

Travel Distance: Maximum travel distance is determined by arrangement and line weight, with potential for up to 100 meters.
Speed and Acceleration: No general limits, but application-specific factors may influence performance.

Special Variants
Includes options for silent running, all movements, EX-protection, antistatic, and self-extinguishing features.

Steel Cable Carriers Overview
Steel cable carriers are designed for applications requiring higher temperature resistance and durability. They support travel distances up to 100 meters and speeds up to 1 m/s. Features include optimized support and organization, easy assembly and disassembly, and protection of pivot mechanics from external elements.

Applications
Both plastic and steel cable carriers are suitable for use in machine tools, mills, special machinery, wood processing industries, and conveying and lifting equipment. They offer flexibility in cable arrangement and protection, making them ideal for various industrial applications.

Specifications and Requirements
The document outlines specifications for selecting and arranging cable carriers, emphasizing the need for individual clearance for each line, with specific percentages for round cables, flat cables, and hoses. The separation of lines using individual chambers is recommended, especially for varying diameters or multi-layer wiring. A minimum bend radius of 10 times the largest line diameter is generally considered.

Design Guidelines
Guidelines for selecting cable carrier materials are provided, emphasizing the benefits of plastic carriers for most applications due to their lightweight and cost-effectiveness. Steel chains are recommended for heavy payloads and extreme conditions.

Key Data from Tables and Charts
The document includes tables comparing the weight and unsupported span capabilities of different cable carrier models, highlighting the advantages of Hennig's Spantrack and SMART Track systems in terms of weight savings and span capabilities.

Specifications and Requirements
- Outer Width and Height: Specify any space restrictions.
- Total Travel Length: Indicate if the fixed end is the center of travel or provide offset distance.
- Maximum Travel Speed, Acceleration, Duty Cycle: Provide these operational parameters.
- Space Restrictions: List any mounting height or depot restrictions.
- Material Preference: Options include steel, plastic, or other.
- Style Preference: Choose between enclosed or open.
