The work in steelworks, foundries and blasting shops is particularly rough on personnel and machinery. Conventional cable and hose carriers quickly reach the limits of their resistance in these kinds of conditions. The optimised chain geometry of the cable and hose carriers STEEL-LINE S/SX1252B and S/SX1802B by TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP reliably prevent costly downtimes and maintenance times in highly abrasive environments.
This new profile measuring instrument is a real technological breakthrough. Being approximately 30 times faster than the best standard of the market, with the LJ-V Series it is possible to check instantaneously the results of a scanned target using a 3D view on line. It is also characterized by the simplicity of its implementation, its precision and its stability of detection.
