Cutting machines

energy chain, cable and storage technology for laser, plasma and waterjet cutting systems

Cutting systems with laser, plasma or water jet technology are often used to process metallic and non-metallic workpieces.
The systems are equipped with a large number of cables, such as data, control, hydraulic or energy cables, which must be routed stably yet flexibly enough on the usually short to medium travel distances so as not to restrict the function of the machine tools.
With our energy chains for cutting systems, we focus on reliable solutions that run smoothly even at high speeds, fit into tight installation spaces and can be installed easily and cost-effectively.

Safe cable guidance in very little installation space

<br />The Messner MultiTherm series can accommodate eleven cutting suspensions. To accommodate the cables and hoses for all housings safely in a very limited space, special importance was placed on the energy supply system.
