Installation of the Igus 2500 Energy chain on Stuga machines
Energy_Chain_Installation_-_2500_Series_Mk3_Igus_1.jpg
There have been reliability problems with the use of the energy chain type "B15" (15.050.048..), prompting the sourcing of a more rigid structural type. The following design points have been taken into account
1 | Check the correct components have been sent before assembly - the Igus part numbers are moulded into the side ...This photo shows the Non-Pivotable brackets part (should be 2030.1PZ and 2PZ) to highlight the potential errors here
|
||
2 | Use Cable Separators, two are needed at each location (every 10 links)
Beckhoff cable in centre |
||
3 | Untwist the Beckhoff cable before installation | ||
4 | Fasten the bracket down, NOT the Cable tie comb | ||
5 | Cable tie all cables and pipes BOTH ends | ||
6 | Ensure the first two links are reversed on the servo end |

A0001113 | 2500.03.055.0 | Energy Chain: Series 2500.03 55mm Bend Radius | Supplied in metre units | |
A0001110 | 2030.12PZB | Energy Chain Bracket Set Non-Pivotable With Cable Tie connection | Supplied as a Pair
Flowline and ZX3/4 uses NON-PIVOTABLE ZX5 uses Pivotable type
...Do not use the mounting holes in the clip on cable tie addition. This is not strong enough to hold the energy chain
...The 2500 series has a different mounting hole pattern to the existing B15 chain, so the plate that the energy chain is mounted on will need to be redrilled

Disposal | Remove the upper "Anti-rise" trays if fitted
The anti-rise system has taller brackets that will need to be cut down level with the tray, as these upstands create a vertical barrier that the chain could feasibly hit. |

ONLY if anti-rise trays fitted |
ONLY IF the anti-rise trays are fitted
Note: this only allies to a specific set of recently upgraded flowlines that have a tray modification and the "B15" energy chain. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE MAJORITY OF FLOWLINES Cut down the upper "Anti-rise" trays if fitted or replace with the original trays from a flowline 6.0mtr H0006746 1 off H0006747 1 off H0006751 1 off

Special Notes | Very important to use the Non-Pivot brackets on this machine to ensure the energy chain passes over the datum switch
