Curved drylin® linear rails and energy chain for the rotation of igus® make monitors mobile

An old water tower has been converted into the central control room for monitoring the water supply. The space in the upper part of this tower is used as a training centre that focuses on the environmentally friendly use of water resources and as a meeting room for the company management and its partners. As an aid for future training purposes, six movable television screens were set up in two rows, which move around the room in a radius of 6.8m and at an angle of 180°. In addition, there are another six movable television screens in the upper conference room, which are arranged in a single row. These television screens move in a circle with a radius of 5.9m and an angle of 45°.

Problem

We faced several challenges at the beginning of the entire project. Two of these challenges were:

1. how to mechanically guide the TV screens in a circular room?
2. how do we bring the power and data supply to the moving TV screens?

We also wanted to minimise the maintenance effort so that the scheduled meetings and training sessions would not have to be suspended for maintenance work. Thanks to the support of igus®, we didn't have to search long for the individual components and were very happy to be able to get everything from a single source.

Solution

We worked out the solution together with igus®:
Curved rails in installation sizes 10-120-10 in order to guide the monitors on the round wall.
Carriage for curved rail WWB-10-120-10 - maintenance-free and lubrication-free with very quiet operation.
RBR energy chains 2400.03.100 & 2400.03.100 specially designed for rotating movements
In the Reverse Bend Radius energy chains we then installed the chainflex CF9.10.04, also manufactured by igus®, for the energy supply. For data transmission CFBUS.049 and CFPE.25.01 for the ground connection.We always had a contact person - igus® - and always found ourselves well advised.

More information

drylin® W curved rails take over the guidance of the monitors. We were able to use the WS-10-120 linear rail.

Matching the curved rail, igus® was also able to deliver the carriages directly. WWB-10-120-10 - The larger version of the WWB-10-40-10 already available in the shop.
