INV 11 Zig-zag arrangement
For some areas of application (e.g. stage and storage systems), it is often not possible to use a vertical hanging or standing cable carrier due to space restrictions. The so-called zig-zag arrangement is used in these cases. As several bends fold on top of one another, the cable carrier has to be guided in all directions and therefore settles into a type of basket or sheet steel housing.

The following parameters are required for dimensioning the system: ■ ■ travel length ■ ■ travel speed ■ ■ cables installed ■ ■ minimum bending radius of guided cables ■ ■ maximum permitted height
■ ■ maximum permitted basket dimensions (length, width)
When dimensioning the basket length, ensure that the unsupported length L f of the selected cable carrier is not exceeded. Depending on the length and weight of the cable carrier, supporting the bend on the moving bracket with a bent plate is a measure which has a positive effect on the service life.
INV 12 Vertical arrangement, hanging with support bolt
The vertical arrangement of the cable carrier with additional sup- port elements offers the option of using the cable carrier as a lift- ing element for the attached system parts (e.g. operating panels, manipulators). The cable carrier is driven via chain wheels. The pitch circle diameter has to be equal to or greater than the selected bending radius of the cable carrier. The drive bracket is motorized or via a counterweight. Due to the great number of configuration aspects, we would ask you to contact our technical support.
