Rolling chain

Feeding chain in double end tenoners and edge finishing lines with rolls, which run on carbide guides.

The feed chain systems in the above machine types can be used as sliding chainsand be designed as rolling chains.

For rolling chains, the needle-mounted chain hinge pins are extended and carry small roles. These roles can also be provided with one hollow profile on one side to run on a round steel guide. Because of the roll motion, the development of heat is largely avoided. Thus, feed speeds of up to 80 m/min are possible. In the version as magnetic chain (Magnetic chain system), even feed rates of up to 130 m/min can be run.
