Machine building.Cables that keep up with the machine.
Machining centres, gantry systems and handling modules move fast, often and precisely. The cable guidance must withstand that millions of times without getting in the way of the cycle time or the machine.
Kabelmanagement in mechanical engineering
What does mechanical engineering demand from industrial cable management?
Typical: Machining centres and milling machines · Gantry and linear axes · Pick-and-place and handling · Laser machines and cutting tables · Injection moulding machines
- 01
High accelerations
Fast axes pull on the carrier. If chosen wrongly, it will sway or wear.
- 02
Little space
The carrier has to fit in a machine frame that is already full.
- 03
Swarf and coolant
In machining, chips and coolant end up on the carrier.
- 04
Series production
Every machine must get the same, tested solution.
Products
What we supply for mechanical engineering
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
Plastic cable carriers
- Why it fits
- For machine building, handling and automation.
- What we do
- We calculate the series and supply the carrier fully assembled from Ruurlo.
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
System sleeving
- Why it fits
- Sleeving that bundles cables and lines into one protected strand.
- What we do
- We choose series, closure and size to suit your bundle diameter.
Detas Ultra
Cable entries
- Why it fits
- Cables sealed into the cabinet, with connectors too.
- What we do
- We plan the entry per cabinet and supply from stock.

Featured project
Steel S1250 cable carrier with a double chain band for Uitenbogerd in Heukelum
For Uitenbogerd in Heukelum, we calculated and built a steel S1250 cable carrier with a double chain band. This makes the carrier considerably stronger and increases the unsupported length, for a dirty environment in which the carrier has to be very strong.
