Large, Heavy Telescopic Steel Covers Can Now be Used to Protect Machine Tools

This innovative transport mechanism from Hennig eliminates high limit stop forces and corresponding noises in all operational positions, moving smoothly when the covers are pulled apart, as well as when they come together.

Posted: April 24, 2018

This innovative transport mechanism from Hennig allows large, heavy telescopic steel covers to protect machine tools with high feed rates and high accelerations between 98 fpm and 262 fpm. It eliminates high limit stop forces and corresponding noises in all operational positions, moving smoothly when the covers are pulled apart, as well as when they come together.

High feed rates and high accelerations no longer prevent large, heavy telescopic steel covers from protecting machine tools and other machinery. An innovative transport mechanism from Hennig, Inc. (Rockford, IL) is especially designed for application speeds between 98 fpm and 262 fpm (30 mpm and 80 mpm). This new transport system eliminates high limit stop forces and corresponding noises in all operational positions, moving smoothly when the covers are pulled apart, as well as when they come together. Test runs at speeds exceeding 328 fpm (100 mpm) and accelerations exceeding 1g were absolutely trouble-free. Large masses and a large number of boxes are a welcome challenge for this transport mechanism. The system is not positively driven, meaning it doesn’t need to move the entire mass. Depending on the length of the stroke, the only boxes moved are the ones required for clearance. The mechanically muffled units travel on guides that guarantee extremely high stability.
