DINOMAX from FPT INDUSTRIE S.p.A. is a milling machine with a travelling crossbeam in gantry design. In the X-axis version, the gantry machine has a stroke of 10 metres. And SPIRIT is a travelling column machine that has a stroke of 8000 mm and 1750 mm in the Y and Z axes, at a speed of 25 metres per minute.

igus® solutions:

DINOMAXIn order toshare the weight of the filling, the decision was made in favour of an interlocking assembly of the energy chain. The outer chain guides the cable, while the inner chain guides the hydraulic hoses. Together they carry a filling weight of 24 kg per metre.

SPIRIT The e-chain® from the 5050 series is used in this machine as a self-supporting installation.
