New highly flexible tray control cables

Whether flatbed or drag chain, our new Kaweflex® Tray 6110/6210 series is designed for both applications and makes it possible to create a continuous connection. This saves you components such as plugs or connectors, which also makes possible performance losses due to built-in connection technology a thing of the past.

True to the motto: “Less is more”, our two new types in shielded and unshielded versions are designed to be compact and space-saving.

KAWEFLEX® 6110 TRAY SK-PVC UL/CSA Tray Control cable

As a highly flexible connection and control cable for high electrical and normal mechanical requirements in energy guiding chains and moving drives in mechanical and plant engineering. The TC-ER and MTW approvals allow open installation on cable trays as well as the use for industrial machines with only one cable.

Drag chains are mainly used in the following areas:

They are used to guide and protect flexible cables or lines that have to supply machine parts while they are in constant motion. Electric, pneumatic and/or hydraulic cables can be routed in drag chains.

Trays for control cables in drag chain systems

When it comes to trays in connection with drag chains, these usually refer to special cable routing components and not to transport containers. These trays are used for the safe and protected routing of control cables within the drag chains. The most important aspects are:

Structure and function

  • The trays are open, box-shaped components made of plastic or metal
  • The trays are open, box-shaped components made of plastic or metal
  • The various control lines (power, data, pneumatics, etc.) are protected in these trays
  • The trays prevent cable breaks by guiding and separating the cables

Benefits

  • Organized and protected cable routing in the drag chain
  • Easy installation and replacement of cables
  • Separation of cable types in separate trays possible
  • High load capacity and durability of the trays
  • Different tray sizes for different cable cross-sections

Applications

  • In industrial plants with moving machine parts
  • In robotics and handling systems
  • For conveyor belts and transfer systems
  • In automation technology in general

Instead of transport containers, the trays are cable routing components that enable the control cables to be laid safely and orderly within the drag chains.
