Drag chains feature innovative divider system

Drag chains feature innovative divider system

To meet the heterogeneous demands of applications in the field of Industry 4.0, Kabelschlepp Metool has developed the new Master drag chains LE60/LE80 with the innovative divider system TS3. The reduced wall thickness of the divider system lets customers benefit from more space in the interior: compared to the previous cable carrier, this achieves a space saving of 50% in the vertical and 37.5% in the horizontal. At the same time, the new Master drag chains are easy to open and fill, for time-saving harnessing from all sides.
