Guide Channel System
Support for Long Travel Lengths


We now offer you our aluminum guide channel system for the 1200 series as an additional component of an operationally safe cable and hose carrier system for long travel lengths. Using our new guide channel clamps, the aluminum guide channel system can be easily and quickly aligned even under difficult assembly conditions. The tapered guide channel clamps make height adjustments possible and slotted holes in the channel clamps permit adjustment to horizontal tolerances of assembly drillings. In the middle of the guide channel segments, these clamps are used as fixed support and at the connections of the channel segments as movable support. Temperature related length variances can be compensated for with gaps.
