DRAG CHAINS FOR INDUSTRIES

Drag chains play a protective role for cables and flexible pipes, ensuring easy and safe operation of machinery. The product is essential in the production and transportation lines of manufacturing businesses, factories, and small to medium-sized enterprises implementing automation.

1.1 Steel drag chains

There are two types of drag chains, which are steel and plastic drag chains, suitable for specific requirements. Steel drag chains are made of materials with high wear resistance and high strength, so they are durable and operate well in harsh conditions such as mining, smelting, or oil production. Some types of machinery that use steel cable chains include casting furnaces, steel structure equipment, machine tools, oil drilling rigs, etc.

1.2 Plastic drag chains

Plastic drag chains have the ability to withstand high temperatures, good electrical insulation, and anti-friction between wires when machines operate continuously, making production movements smoother. In addition, plastic cable chains are lightweight and easy to package, transport, install, and remove. This product is widely used in CNC machines, laser engraving machines, electronic equipment manufacturing, the automotive industry, etc.

Connection technology reimagined: EKD Systems has been a permanent fixture of the HELUKABEL Group since the beginning of 2022, and will now operate under the name HELU Connectivity Solutions Haan GmbH.

HELU Connectivity Solutions Haan GmbH offers many types of cable carriers to the market, including two main types: steel and plastic cable carriers. Both product lines meet international standards and are suitable for many industries. In particular, HELUKABEL's subsidiary also specializes in producing specialized products such as connectors or support sets for all applications.

• Engineering: Already in the design phase with a team of experienced engineers propose solutions in 2D and 3D models. On this basis, the final design can be specified. The earlier use of this know-how in design saves time and costs.
• Production: The production ranges from the production of injection molded plastic components, the milling of steel and aluminum components, edging and welding engineering to final assembly and packing of ready for connection energy chain systems. The partly decades of experience of specialized staff leads to the practical function and the high level of quality finished products.
• Quality Management: HELU Connectivity Solutions Haan GmbH works with a certified quality management system according to ISO 9001: 2008 in development, production and distribution of energy chains and systems in steel and plastic. Purpose of this system is the sadisfaction of customer requirements. These requirements are implemented in the daily work and constantly developed to the customized needs of the company, the customers and the markets. The certification of the quality management system is reviewed and approved annually.
• Service: Besides manufacturing and supplying cable chains for applications, HELU Connectivity Solutions Haan GmbH also provides and designs chains according to customers' requirements for each application to optimize efficiency and cost.
