Installation Elements from the item Building Kit

Integrating cables, hoses and electronics into the frame

Machines and workstations need power, signals and often compressed air. Installation elements from the item building kit ensure that cables and hoses run in or on the profile frame in an orderly, protected and accessible way. Channel profiles carry the lines, electronics housings provide space for control and connection technology, and holders position sensors or limit switches directly on the structure.

Selection criteria and versions

• Channel end caps in many cross-sections from 40x40 to 160x160, plus cap sets for 45° and 20° transitions
• Channel edge profile on a 20 m roll to protect cables at edges
• Electronics housing covers 8 in 120x80 and 200x120, textured or smooth
• Cable and hose holder 8 and universal holder for routing lines along the groove
• Limit switch holders for diameters from 6.5 to 20 mm, e.g. for cylindrical sensors
• Equipotential bonding 8, zinc-plated, for electrically conductive connection of profiles

Plan cable routes early: channel profiles and holders can then be positioned so that lines are protected and remain accessible for maintenance.

FAQ

What is equipotential bonding for?

It connects the profiles in an electrically conductive way so they can be integrated into the machine's protective earth or grounding concept.

Which limit switch holder fits my sensor?

The outer diameter of the sensor or switch is decisive. The value in the name, such as D12 or D18, corresponds to this diameter.

How do I close channel profiles at the end?

With channel end caps of the matching cross-section. Cap sets with 45° or 20° are available for mitred joints.
