Glass & ceramics.Where the heat is greatest.
Near furnaces, moulding machines and cooling lines, cables and hoses are exposed to strong radiant heat. Without protection they age quickly.
Kabelmanagement in glass & ceramics
What does glass & ceramics demand from industrial cable management?
Typical: Glass furnaces and feeders · IS forming machines · Lehrs · Cutting lines · Ceramic kilns
- 01
Radiant heat
Ovens and molten glass radiate a lot of heat.
- 02
Glass fragments and dust
Sharp and abrasive material on the guide.
- 03
Continuous process
Ovens are not switched off for maintenance.
- 04
Plastic limit
Plastic links and sheaths quickly reach their limit.
Products
What we supply for glass & ceramics
Per product why it fits here, and what we do for you alongside it. From advice to installation, with one point of contact.
Tsubaki Kabelschlepp
Steel cable carriers
- Why it fits
- For cranes, steel industry, offshore and machines with large self-supporting lengths.
- What we do
- We calculate unsupported length and load, and install on site.
Reiku
Robot dress packs
- Why it fits
- A dress pack protects and guides everything that goes to a robot's tooling: welding current, air, cooling water, signals and data.
- What we do
- Our robotics division assembles the package and mounts it on your robot.
Tsubaki Kabelschlepp · TRAXLINE
Flexible cables (TRAXLINE)
- Why it fits
- TRAXLINE cables from Tsubaki Kabelschlepp are developed for continuous movement in cable carriers.
- What we do
- We select the cable by bending cycles and radius and cut and assemble it to length.
Reiku
Protective hoses for robots
- Why it fits
- Corrugated Reiku protective hoses around the cable and hose package of an industrial robot.
- What we do
- We choose size and material and supply the complete package per robot axis.
Reiku
Holders and fixings
- Why it fits
- Reiku clamps, clamping jaws, ball joints and swivel flanges that guide, hold or rotate the protective hose on the robot.
- What we do
- We match holders and clamps to your robot and hose size.
Reiku
Retraction systems
- Why it fits
- A spring on the upper arm that pulls the protective hose back as the robot retracts, and releases it as it extends.
- What we do
- We determine the spring force and mount the system on the upper arm.

Featured project
Cable carriers and scheduled maintenance for Wienerberger's transfer cars
For the transfer cars in Wienerberger's brickworks, we engineered, supplied and installed cable carriers for long travel lengths. Since then, we have carried out the scheduled maintenance and inspections, so the cars keep running in an environment with dust, heat and continuous operation.
