How a Drag Chain Improves Cable Protection in CNC Machines

Drag chain system and durability of the cables

It is used to give different shapes and cuts on materials with precision and fine accuracy. This gives it the Specification of being a CNC machine when it comes to CNC machining. Cables power the various components of these machines and ensure their proper functioning. Nevertheless, the cables are constantly in motion and this process can eventually cause the wires to deteriorate, which will also reduce machine performance. They are nowadays employed by manufacturers in what is now called a drag chain system to take care of this nuisance

A drag chain system a series of connected links that encloses and guides cables along a fixed path. A drag chain will protect all cables from the bending, twisting and abrasion that is common when a machine is in operation. -This will help increase the lifetime of the cables thereby extending their lifecycle, eventually resulting in even better performance

Drag Chain Solutions for Reliable Cable Protection

Cable fault is the common issue that the CNC machine operators are facing in their regular work. The consequences of unprotected cables getting stuck in moving parts or being tangled are similar and may include the breaking or malfunctioning of a cable. This can lead to expensive repairs and downtimes which have a negative impact on production schedules

To avoid this it is important to install a quality drag chain solutions in order not to get your cables damaged. Their purpose is to secure and guide cables along a desired route without any risk of tangling or damage. Operators can lower this cable-related issue significantly by employing a drag chain system and ensure normal operation of the CNC machine

Efficient Operational Cable Protection

And in a busy shop or production environment, downtime is not acceptable. If the machine gets stopped any point of time then it is the waste a production so ultimately efficiency will get affected. CNC Machine Cable Protection Needs to be a Priority for Operational Efficiency

A drag chain system keeps the cables safe and secure so that machine can run smoothly. Accompanied with the right kind of cable protection, these operators seldom have to worry about their cable assemblies failing or breaking loose anytime soon. This makes sure the flow of work is faster and worksite management is optimized in a big way

Continuous use by the latest technology drag type brag chain with performance years of long term maintenance

Drag chain systems evolve with technology. KOMAY is an example of a manufacturer that frequently innovates and redesigns models to maximize the performance properties and lifespan of chain. Drag chain solutions are designed to minimize the negative result of large numbers of cycles (snagging, breakage, damage) that cables can experience in CNC machines

Advanced drag chain technology also provides peace of mind for machine operators, secure in the knowledge that their cables are robustly protected. This not only helps to increase the life of the cables but also keeps up-to-date with the performance of CNC machine for years to come

Protective cables from CNC machines using new drag chain styles

Drag chain designs are also innovative ways of making cables secure in a CNC machine. These are designs that are custom to the machine: matched length of cable, flexibility, and movement. Through the use of new drag chain designs, operators can safely protect their cables without risking damage or cross-talk

KOMAY has an assortment of unique designs to complement the varying needs of CNC machines from their wide variety of drag chain solution series. KOMAY is able to provide the perfect chain for every application, from very heavy-duty chains of large sizing for high intensity operations (Oil&Gas and Mining Machinery) to lightweight chains for smaller machines. That's why those who select a drag chain system from KOMAY are confident that their cables are safe, and that their CNC machines can continue to work at optimum level
