Konecranes Introduces Its Next-Generation CLX Electric Chain Hoist for Increased Productivity
18 Marzo 2013 - 8:27PM
The new CLX electric chain hoist
from Konecranes has been
designed and tested to speed up work cycles, enhance safety and
extend service life.
The new Konecranes CLX Electric Chain Hoist is targeted for
manufacturing applications where high-speed load transfers and
precise assembly work are required. Currently in capacities of 60
to 2,000 kg (130 to 4,400 lbs) CLX can be paired with workstation
cranes, overhead cranes and jib cranes or deployed in an endless
variety of fixed configurations. Larger capacities up to 5,000 kg
(11,000 lbs) will be available soon. Hailed as the next-generation
light lifting device in Konecranes' current line of proven
technologies, CLX is expected to capture significant market share
in its segment.
A number of improvements have been incorporated into CLX over
Konecranes' previous models and over competing brands. The new
aluminum frame is accompanied by a maintenance-free transmission
and patented five-tooth chain sprocket with intermediate teeth. The
latest oil lubrication-based transmission lowers operating
temperature, enabling increased power. An available speed ratio of
6:1 enables movements that are fast – 25% faster than its
predecessor – and precise, with corresponding improvement in work
cycles.
Safety and maintenance features of CLX from Konecranes have also
been improved to promote safe operations and a longer service life.
All electronics have been placed on compact circuit boards,
decreasing internal wiring and limiting the number of parts
required for maintenance. Additional safety functions have been
integrated into the hoist's construction. For example, the standard
overload device has been constructed so the brake holds the load
without any interaction with the slipping clutch, a design intended
to prevent micro-slip and load drops in the unlikely event of a
broken clutch.
The new-generation CLX chain hoist from Konecranes boasts a
modern, ergonomic look, having been created with the same design
philosophy for which Konecranes has received industrial design
awards in other product categories. Additionally, CLX is designed
to be energy efficient and eco-friendly, meeting the requirements
of the European Union RoHS Directive.
CLX from Konecranes is currently available with two-year
warranty and a 30-day money back return policy.
